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...
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
Excellent shots by all. Welcome Kamarulamir. Pako I really like your tribute photo to Don (Sonolta) looks like one feisty squirrel, ;^) I also miss Don!
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.
