[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 397997, member: 24753"] My best is always the one I enjoyed creating and the one that I could see before the shot, maybe not the exact detail, but the story the shot would tell. That is when I know I made the difference. I also cannot escape from waxing/waning light and the transformation of the world as the sun sets or rises or even just passes through the trees or past a barn. Took an afternoon back in the Summer for some hiking and shooting. Planned to end the day at an old fort atop a hill. I knew there was a canon and thought there might be a decent sunset, but as the evening moved toward the night, I could tell the sky would be lighting up as the sun set and I began working on the shot in my mind and hoping the canon would be in the right spot. We made the top of the hill about 30 minutes before sunset, had a few minutes to rest and study the angles, watch the clouds move and imagine how they might transform. Worked it for about 20 minutes from different angles, horizons, fill and no fill, sun behind or to the right or left. Working against the changing light is exhilarating, and when the sun, the clouds and the crossed jet trails of the modern age lined up over the canon from a time of crossed swords, one of my Best of 2014 was born.
