[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 397213, member: 9240"] As I was looking over my Flickr stuff with my sister in-law over the holidays I started thinking about all the shots I've taken this year, and the many ways in which I have grown as a photographer. I started to wonder about the various shots I took and posted this year (and there were a [I]lot[/I] of them), and I started wondering how I might respond were a photographer I admired to come up to me and say... [I][B]"Show me your best photo from 2014, and tell me what is so good and/or significant about it" [/B][/I] I've been pondering it ever since, and I will post my answer below, but I wanted to suggest you all to take some time and answer the question as well. Yes, there are rules, but they are simple: [LIST] [*]You get to define the criteria around which "best" is defined, and it [I]doesn't[/I] have to based on any sort of technical merit (i.e. it could be about the importance of the moment and/or the subject and not about anything someone else might observe in the photo) [*]You [U][B]cannot[/B][/U] post more than one photo [*]You [B][U]must[/U][/B] post an explanation of why you chose that photo with some level of detail as to your reasons [*][B][U]No commenting[/U][/B] - I'd like to preserve this as a sort of Nikonite Yearbook to allow folks to peruse the photos and explanations without anything getting sidetracked, waylaid or otherwise hijacked [/LIST] And my thanks to @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-13578-wud.html"]wud[/URL] who inspired a similar idea back in the first couple months of the year. I was always sorry that those threads never persisted. [/QUOTE]
