Post your favorite shot, (or two)

Post your all time favorite shot that you have taken since you started taking photos with a camera.
It doesn't have to be the best image quality or the best composed shot. Just something that you took that captured a moment, and you always come back to look at it for some reason.
If you can't make up your mind post a few. Also maybe a short story behind the image would be interesting as well.

This one is special, because this is the first image that I have taken that I actually wanted to frame and put on my wall.



This one I took recently. Nothing special about the image except that this bird is mostly doomed. The tour guide said that it had a broken wing and can not fly. Most likely will be eaten by an alligator over time. This one makes me sad everytime I look at it.



Finally , I still have a hard time looking at this pic. It was the last picture ever taken of Daisy The Rottweiler before she went missing.

I was awestruck by this rock formation and this is the first year that I became enamored of photography, just knowing that i could capture and hold this image to enjoy for a long time after it had faded somewhat from my memory.

@ShootRaw . I always love that second shot, every time you post it. It's one of my favorites from you.

These are probably my preferred shots from Vietnam.

This is my favourite as I have never been able to recreate a 21 image handheld focus stack like this.

And of course this one from Africa.

Wow! I don't remember seeing this one. Glad I've seen it now. Thanks!

Something about that first one that gives me a peaceful feeling.. Thanks for sharing.

This first shot is my first spider shot that I really liked.I think it is likely the best shot I've taken so far too.



This next shot is I think my best flower shot so far, and I really liked the tones of color.



And this last shot I love the composition and the subject.

I always liked that spider shot Bill. You got the colors just right.

Thank you so much buddy! It's the only photo I've taken, that I had printed. Lol

But one of my best pictures is the portrait I did of my grand-daughter a few years ago with my D90 and 50 1.8 in her bathtub.

This looks like there's a big field of grass here, doesn't it? Nothing of the sort. This is a grass strip in a parking lot, no more than about three or four feet wide. I was arriving here, just as the sun was coming over the horizon. I crouched down very low, to catch the rising sun in the background, behind this bit of grass, with the dewdrops on it.



That was at a trade school where I am currently learning to become an electrician.

Some detail from a few of the dewdrops in the above picture, showing some distant trees refracted therein…



This picture was taken in the very same parking lot, on a different day, when it was very foggy.



This was part of a sequence that I took to stitch into a 360° panorama.

The strip of grass that you see in the full panorama is the same strip across which I took that first picture.

Cool thread. Great photos here.
I think I will add mine.
"Can I add 2?"
"Yes"
"Thanks."

Two more recent, but after 42+ years of taking photograph there are literally thousands from which to chose!

Haven't taken one yet.

When I look to those photos posted in this thread I'm realizing that my favorite shot will come one day. But I have a favorite shot seen so far in this thread, unfortunately not taken by myself.

What I like about this thread it gives a lot of spirit to the viewer. Great thread.

Guess it would be these 3 at this point.

These are my favorites up to this point:
