[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 397275, member: 11881"] Choosing my favorite child, WOW! This year I had so many great shots: Milky Way - technical monster with hours in the field and in front of the computer, Sunbeams through the Redwoods - just magical, Heceta Head Lighthouse - the beams cutting through the fog of night, Dodge Challenger - captured in the Redwoods with a wisp of fog passing through the headlight, but one photo kept coming to mind. It is a photo of my daughter. This was a posed photo with beautiful soft light coming through a window and into a late 1800's cabin. On the table in the cabin were these beautiful china tea cups. The walls and table were both dreary in color. It struck me that [B]this[/B] would be a perfect shot - and it was, but what really elevated the shot was my daughter getting into the moment. As I posed her, I gave the instruction that she should be daydreaming of distant and better places. Places that would take you away from your surroundings. Combining her getting into the moment, and the incredible light shining through the window, this is my best shot of 2014. I do "like" many of my other photos more than this one, but in the essence of the Mona Lisa, the look on her face draws you in and makes you wonder what she is thinking. Had this one done on canvas and it is a perfect match to the setting of the photo. [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]131281._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
