Submit 1 photo you have taken between 00:01 1/1/2009 and 23:59 12/31/2009. We all vote on the winner. If we have less than 10 folks enter, I will make a poll and we can vote there. If we have more than 10, then folks can PM me and I'll post the results (just tallies, not who voted for whom).

Voting will start 1/2/2010, so get your pics in by then! :)

Good luck,
L

There was one of those great photographers (Henry Cartier-Bresson?) that once got questioned about wich one was his best photograph, and he answer: the next one.
I love that.
But, because I can not show the next photograph I'll take, I'll show you the last I took, yesterday at lunch time. Funny, it is too a tribute to Don (Sonolta), who I miss some times...

A850 + 28-75 f2.8

My photo of the year - a question I can't really answer. I submit this 'flash' picture not because I think it's my best but because it's unusual, at least for me. Regular forumers might have seen it before :D

I have a number I like, but I keep coming back to this one - a special moment that was very brief

It was difficult to pick one out of many favourites and unfortunately it doesn't look quite so good resized down this small, (I have used it as a 1920 desktop image), but here it is anyway.
