The holdays are over and the new year is here. This is the time of year when I reflect on the great photography outings and good times I had in the previous twelve months.
This year I am hosting my annual “Select Your Three Favorites” survey from right here on my website site, and I’d be honored by your participation. The results provide me with unique feedback from various points of view and from a diversity of viewers, and every year I learn more and more and improve my work based on this feedback.
Please take a look at the ten images below and select the three that you like the most by leaving me a comment with the your choices listed like this:
- name of your first pick
- name of your second pick
- name of your third pick
I’ll reveal the results of your voting in a couple of weeks – stay tuned and thank you as always!
