The Most Stunning Photo

May 23rd, 2010
I am very faithful to 365 every day. I try to go through each day's photos, follow the popular page, make comments and encourage people. However, this is your chance at a "brag" thread. This is not a theme or a competition, but I am downright curious...what is (in your opinion), the most stunning photo you have posted on 365 to date? Will you share it here on this thread for all to see? It may be a difficult decision, but pick one. Yes, just one. I know this is going to be tough because I think all your photos are stunning every day. You guys are the best of the best! :)

This is my pick from my 365 album thus far:

May 23rd, 2010
Of the pictures so far, I thinks this one is the one that amazes me.

Its simple, the subject matter is in focus and the background isn't cluttered.
May 23rd, 2010
Third time's a charm? Reposting to include my picture, I'll delete the first one :-).

Wow, that's an awesome picture! I have to admit that I haven't had time to go all the way back in everyone's album on my friend list. I really should take the time to do that!

I would have to say that my stormy carnival ride is my favorite picture so far. I can't wait till another carnival comes to town!

May 23rd, 2010
I'd say the photo of mine that I'm most proud of is this:
http://365project.org/pocketmouse/365/2010-05-09

This was the first time I'd truly tried to do people photography. Plus, it's my grandmother, and she's beautiful, and I think I captured some of her beauty and strength. :)
May 23rd, 2010
May 23rd, 2010
Wow - this is hard - trying to decide on one. I keep changing my mind. However, the image I go back to look at over and over was one that I took recently of a small gravestone in Montepelier, VT, of a girl who is know as "Little Margaret". It's amazing to me how much this picture looks like a portrait of real person from a distance - only when you look at it enlarged and up close do you see that it's actually a statue. Some of the finest skills from a sculptor I've seen in a long time!

May 23rd, 2010
This was really tough. The last two months worth have been some of my favorites. But here's mine so far:



May 23rd, 2010
How can I post a picture here?
May 23rd, 2010
Lone, go to the picture you want to post, right-click on it, and go to Properties. Copy the URL (should end in .jpg).
Then you can paste the URL in this discussion, and surround it with
<img src="(paste the URL here)">

... I hope that worked. xD
May 23rd, 2010
(Alternatively, if you're using Firefox, just right-click and go Copy Image Location)
May 23rd, 2010
Lone: I put a note on your 365 album on how to do this. Thanks! :)
May 23rd, 2010
Thanks Teresa and Michael. I hope this is right.

I really think this is my best photo. http://static.365project.org/1/181956_cdfhjnotxy_m.jpg
May 23rd, 2010
This is fun and hard!
Here's my favorite to date:

(And thanks Teresa for explaining how to post a picture!)
May 23rd, 2010
Okay, I withdraw my picture, Teresa (pocketmouse) has it, I am stunned. Love that face.
May 23rd, 2010
It wasa hard choice,...I have three that I am really proud of, but I think that this one is it,.....

May 23rd, 2010
What a great discussion but what a hard choice! I have grown so much as a photographer over the last 6 months...

May 23rd, 2010
Mine's got to be the picture of my Dad for many different reasons.
May 23rd, 2010
craigy p omg this pic is priceless. he looks like he has many thoughts going through his head. You need to frame this picture. it is awesome. i just had to tell you that.
May 23rd, 2010
My favorite right now is this one, of a candle:

May 23rd, 2010
I'm in love with my photo oppurtunities here in Lunenburg and Nova Scotia. Knowing I took this from a spot most people won't come across (I was shooting from a ditch!), and the way it turned out, this is my favorite so far
May 23rd, 2010
Wow! You all have posted some fabulous photos! The portraits are incredible.

Great idea, Michael. You really made me re-examine my photos. I guess, so far, I'm most proud of this one...





May 23rd, 2010
It was hard for me to decide between this one and the picture that immediately follows it within my 365, but I think this is beautiful for more than just one reason.

May 23rd, 2010
I had no idea what this would turn into. I am loving it! These photos are absolutely amazing! Thank you to all who have posted and keep them coming! :)
May 23rd, 2010
Wow, so many gorgeous shots.

I'm not very far into the project yet, just over a month. This is the one I'm happiest about so far. I was out on Plum Island, one of my favorite places, for a couple of hours. I took lots of shots that day, but when I took this one the sunset light was just perfect over the marsh and river.

May 23rd, 2010
honestly? I think the picture I took yesterday at my niece's wedding is quite possibly my favorite and my best.

http://365project.org/msk1p2/365/2010-05-22


May 23rd, 2010
Thanks for starting this thread . . . l am really enjoying everyone's favorite photos : )
Here's probably my most interesting so far . . .
May 23rd, 2010
I went back and looked at my pictures and some of them are really pretty but this picture of my 4 year old grandson is just so special. I love the way he is concentrating so hard on his ipod and it still amazes me that a 4 year old can use an ipod! I also like the way the light is shining on his face.
May 23rd, 2010
I especially like this photo because the tree is in my own yard. And, the morning light with some shade from my house gave the photo some nice depth.



May 23rd, 2010
It's really hard to choose, and I made the mistake of looking at the others that have been posted. While this is not necessarily a popular picture of mine, it is one of my favorites. I like the contrast and clarity.

May 23rd, 2010
http://365project.org/eandrews32/365/2010-05-03

Turtle In The Road is my favorite picture so far.
May 23rd, 2010
The shot I am most proud of is this :o)
May 23rd, 2010
Hm. Hard to pick between about 4 of my pictures. This one is prolly my favorite so far tho..
May 23rd, 2010
http://365project.org/cupcakey/365/2010-05-12



May 23rd, 2010
Wow this is a tough one. So I choose miss mew, I absolutely love how this photo turned out:

May 23rd, 2010
Wow... Y'all have such awesome pictures. "Stunning" is totally the right word for them all.
The picture I'm most proud of (and the one that seems to be my most popular) is this one:


I just love it so much. Admittedly though I was torn between that one and a few others.
May 23rd, 2010
I think I have to choose this photo of our cat, Lucas (who looks a lot like "Miss Mew" above!). He was sitting on top of the cabinet where we hang our coats and the light was hitting him just right...



http://365project.org/cglist/365/2010-04-08
May 23rd, 2010
Beautiful photos, everyone!
May 24th, 2010
Wow! These are continuing to amaze me. Fantastic shots everyone! I am really enjoying this thread.
May 24th, 2010
this on is my favorite so far

img src= http://media.365project.org/1/63176_aejlmpstv3_m.jpg
May 24th, 2010
This is my favorite shot since getting my D40...



It's my buddy Case's Mazda6. I didn't upload it to 365 (I put another pic from the same shoot), but you can check out it and more on my Flickr
May 24th, 2010
Thank you Michael for starting this thread!!

Wow doesn't even begin to describe how wonderful these pictures are! Such great artists all in one place, each with a different vision and perspective on how they see things.

Awesome!
May 24th, 2010
This is my favorite shot since starting this project. I really love how much fun it is.
May 24th, 2010
I don't know why, but I really like this photo I took. I wouldn't say it's the most stunning of my photo's, but I am drawn to it..


May 24th, 2010
Wow, this is a great thread, I am loving seeing all these wonderful photos. I would have to say my favorite is this one
http://365project.org/lookitsz/365/2010-04-26
May 24th, 2010
i would very much like to add my picture here but can't figure out how to copy and paste the URL
May 24th, 2010
Michael may be could let me know how to copy and paste the url to get my picture posted here as my favorite????????
May 24th, 2010
I went to the "more sizes" under "tools" on the page of the photo. Copy and the HTML code for the main size and then paste it here in your reply box. That's what I did for mine to start this thread.
May 24th, 2010
This was tough! I have a handful of my photos that I really love, but I would say this is probably the "most stunning" if for no other reason than it is such a rare thing that I see a rainbow all the way around the sun that I can actually photograph.
On a side note, the rest of the photos already posted here are just wonderful!!

May 24th, 2010
I'm quite new to the 365 project so I would have to say this is my favorite so far.. I would have chosen something else from my Flickr albums (http://www.flickr.com/photos/blugirl_1216/) but this will have to do :)



May 24th, 2010
http://static.365project.org/1/194000_yu6p9387st_s.jpg
Thanks Michael
so now that i finally learned how to get the URL posted how do i get the picture in here???? yes i know - another question
May 24th, 2010
It was really hard to single out one photo, but I decided to go with this one, because I LOVE hummingbirds! I thought I would never be able to get a clear shot of them, but my patience paid off :-)

All photos posted above are STUNNING! I love browsing through the site, and everyday I encounter so many gorgeous images! It's a real pleasure being on 365!!

This is my son, he is my most amazing project to date.
May 24th, 2010

This one would have to be one of my fave's
May 24th, 2010
Mine is this shot of a Magnolia Blossom that I monotoned then tinted to match the natural color.

May 24th, 2010
Stunning because of who's in the shot, not who's behind the camera.
May 24th, 2010
this was a toughie! It's between these 2 photos...

and this one...
May 24th, 2010
There is SO much talent here. I am in awe of all of you. :)
May 24th, 2010
my turn, i think this one...
May 24th, 2010
This surprised me because it turned out muuuuch better than I'd anticipated.

May 24th, 2010
Wow, there really are some stunning photos here! It's so interesting to see what everyone's favorite of their own photos is. It was a hard decision, but I think for me, this one wins out:

May 24th, 2010
I think this is my best to date.

May 24th, 2010
I tihnk it might be this one, but I can't really decide. I love the colours though. It's funny, cos I wasn't sure if I liked this when I first took it and now it's one of my favourites.

Bruni: Go to the page with your photo. Go to more sizes. Select main. You copied the link, but you need to copy the HTML code instead under it that starts with
May 24th, 2010
I like this one I took of my little sisters at the beach one lazy afternoon.

May 24th, 2010
This one
May 24th, 2010
I'm really enjoying this project and getting inspired by all your beautiful pictures! I'm quite new to the project, but so far this one is my favorite:


May 24th, 2010
Wow! You guys are just great! These photos are all stunning! We have some very talented people in this group. Excellent choices of photos for this thread! :)
May 24th, 2010


this is our lake....drive by it every morning going to work, and every evening coming home from work....part of the reason we decided to buy our house...
this is def one of my faves, it was between this one or the sunset one i took last week
May 24th, 2010
So fun to go back and look at my photos - and to see other's "stunning" photos - thanks for starting the thread. Not sure this one is "stunning" but it was the first photo I really had fun taking:
http://media.365project.org/1/160418_abfopstu38_m.jpg
May 24th, 2010


This was taken on a beautiful spring afternoon on a beach near Clogherhead in Ireland. I have been coming here for over 35 years and it is just a wonderful place. I now bring my children to Clogherhead so everything has gone full circle. I love the sea and the seagulls and the cliffs in the picture.
May 24th, 2010
i won't go as far to say this photo is stunning, but it's certainly one of my favs.

May 24th, 2010
I've hesitated a bit putting up a picture...everyone is so talented. But I'll never learn if I don't share. So, following Michaels' instructions .. here's goes.

May 24th, 2010
http://365project.org/ms6/365/2010-04-03



Not my most stunning but certainly unique and one I'm most proud of
May 24th, 2010
This is by far my most stunning picture that I have taken!!!

May 24th, 2010
This was my first shot on 365 and probably one of my favorites.

May 24th, 2010
All of your photos truly are stunning!

I don't know if I would call this photo stunning, but it is definitely one of my favourites!

May 24th, 2010
I can't do it. Not that I can't upload a pic to this discussion, it is just that I can't pick. I have enough trouble picking one of the many shots in a day to post that day and now I have to pick only one of the 144 I have taken so far. Can't do it. Nope. Can't do it. Won't do it. Someone else do it for me. LOL!!
May 24th, 2010
May 24th, 2010
I'm somewhat of a "newbie" here, but I am very thankful for my friend Karen suggesting this site to me and I am very glad I joined. It has motivated me to get out take pictures and also get in further touch with my "creative" side. With that being said... this is my favorite so far...=)

May 24th, 2010
Probably this one if I were only to pick one:



May 24th, 2010
Happy you took me up on the suggestion, Malena! I know you are having as much fun as I am.

I'm constantly trying to get more people to participate!

Fabulous shot!

All of these pictures shared here are just awesome!
May 25th, 2010
AWESOME thread idea. I'm in awe of all of the talent posted here! I suppose if I had to pick ONE, it would be this one:
May 25th, 2010
Location, location, location + time of day.

May 25th, 2010
Thanks, Michael. It's fun to see everyone's picks.
May 25th, 2010
I've only been doing this for about a month and a half, but this one I'm particularly proud of:

http://365project.org/eltiare/365/2010-04-27

May 25th, 2010
Wow! These are amazing so far! What a great idea Michael! We might not have ever seen half these photos if not for this thread.
May 25th, 2010
I think so far my best on this project is the cherries!!

May 25th, 2010
it just makes me think...runs like clockwork!
May 25th, 2010


This is the image that always makes me stop and gaze at it a few moments longer than all the rest I've taken thus far...
May 25th, 2010


Mainly because I have a hard time with macro, so am quite proud of my efforts :)
May 25th, 2010
GOSHH!! why'd you make me pick just one :) okay well this is my most RECENT favorite of mine:
May 25th, 2010
Wow!!! We are certainly surrounded by some ridiculously talented people aren't we?!? Amazing stuff! Great idea, Michael!
May 25th, 2010


MICHAEL.
when i do as you referred too i only find the above paragraph under my URL there isn't anything there that refers to a HTML code. where you wrote the comment for me your sentence wasn't finished it was cut off somehow. so sorry but i'm still in the dark. i will go on to my husbands laptop and try it there who knows maybe it works there. i had it up once before but because it pasted the picture twice i wanted to delete one and it deleted them both.

May 25th, 2010
This one has to be my favourite so far:

May 25th, 2010
This is my favorite so far I think. It was VERY hard for me to pick just one but I really love how dramatic this one is

http://365project.org/AshleyMiller/365/2010-05-08
May 25th, 2010
Wow. You guys have some really stunning shots...

This would be mine...


May 25th, 2010
this is my fave, the pink is sooo awesome and the blue sky makes it stand out so much =] as much as id like to become a great photographer, im not sure how much is my skill verses nature and just life being beautiful and easy to shoot =]

May 25th, 2010
I have taken a lot of sunset pics, this is my favorite.

May 25th, 2010
Here is my fav photo. A tug boat making its way up the Ohio River

I would not say it is stunning but it is one of my favorites.

May 25th, 2010
So many beuatiful photos...I am in awe.

I wish and hope that this thread never ends.... :o)
May 25th, 2010
I don't feel like any of mine deserve to be in here with all the ones that have been posted. They're all amazing! But I do like this one of mine:
May 25th, 2010
wow..everybody's photos are so great....I don't think I can compete with you all...nonetheless I'd like to join the thread, it's tough for me to choose...and I pick this one.... http://365project.org/winoti/365/2010-03-07

I really love a lot. But it was a good opportunity to review my photos.
Congratulations to all for the amazing photos!
This was the one chosen... http://365project.org/anacseixas/365/2010-02-26


May 25th, 2010
Wonderful pictures everyone!

Here's mine.



This is a super macro shot of one of my Mother's Day roses. Turned out pretty nice. Strange though, the calandar shot is so much cleaner then this image.



May 25th, 2010
Michael, thank you for this thread, for it is amazing beyond words! Great great job, guys and gals! You are very very talented! *liftshat*
(And I can't make up my mind about the picture to post for this thread, because I find so many of them so incredibly meaningful to me in retrospective. And then I think of which I might have spent most time on to create and again, it's really tough, because ever since the beginning of the project I have tried a bunch of things that I never did before...)
May 25th, 2010
wow, all these photos are just gorgeous..... its nice to see what everyone is most proud of! ^^
i think this is mine.

thanks for the help teresa!! ^^
May 25th, 2010
I think my favourite so far is this one of my dog Storm soaking us all after he's been swimming!

May 26th, 2010
As Murray said, I like several different photos for different reasons, and though I would not say that it is the image that I am "most proud" of, it does seem to be the most popular one...

May 26th, 2010
Okay, this one is one of "my" favorites"
May 26th, 2010
This is my current favorite. It changes depending on my mood though.

May 26th, 2010
Still amazed at each photo posted! These are stunning! I wonder how far this thread will go? You guys are great and so talented. :)
May 26th, 2010
Stunning photos!
May 26th, 2010
i don't know if this would qualify as stunning but i think its one of my favorite pictures in my 365 so far..
http://365project.org/priskillax3/365/2010-03-14
May 26th, 2010
i just can't stop looking at it, so i think that's a good thing ;)

May 26th, 2010
I think I will pick this one....
May 26th, 2010
This is my favorite from the month I've been doing 365:



from the National Botanic Garden in D.C.

May 27th, 2010
I'm searching for my creative side and I think this may be a start. My piano was a last minute thought. Love all of your photos on here. Amazing!
May 27th, 2010

Personally my favourite picture by far... represents things that I like to photograph and just the simplicity of the area I live in.
May 27th, 2010
I think this is my favorite. I love the detail of the bee dipping his head into the flower. http://365project.org/pia_irene/365/2010-05-16


May 27th, 2010
This is a wonderful way for us to find amazing photos we could have overlooked.
This is my favorite because it has so much meaning to me right now.
May 27th, 2010
All of these photos are SO Amazing...I think we should ALL be proud of ourselves! Here is my favorite......

My Husband and my Little Princess Zoey
May 27th, 2010

May 27th, 2010
May 27th, 2010
WOW, How can I follow with a good pic after seing all these? There are some amazing photos on this site, I am so glad to be a part of the 365 family :o)

Here is my fave (so far!)

May 27th, 2010
This is the one that I like the most that I could consider "stunning", but you would have had to have been in that location to get a true appreciation for the beauty of the place.

The Valley of Fire in Nevada
May 28th, 2010
They just keep coming! I am loving this. I had no idea what this thread would become, but I'm glad I had the idea to do it. These photos are astounding. :)
May 28th, 2010
You all have amazing photos!



It was really hard to find one. I actually love quite a bit of my photos!
I mean.. if we didn't like AT LEAST some of our photos.. we wouldn't become a better photographer.. right?
May 28th, 2010
I would have to say this one:

Great idea for a thread.
May 28th, 2010
I don't think this is stunning, but it is by far my favorite for the moment:
http://media.365project.org/1/220458_cijnsv3578_sq.jpg
May 28th, 2010
Great shots! It's so hard to choose! I've had a great time documenting our year!
I love this one:


And these 2 because they are BRAVE moments for me:




May 28th, 2010
Well, this thread is pretty amazing. I keep coming back and there are many more entries. I don't have any "stunning" photos as so many of the above are, but this one is my favorite so far because of the work I put into every step.

May 28th, 2010
Everyones photo are amazing in this thread. dont know if mine will fit in with all the AWESOMENESS :p

May 28th, 2010
I am blown away by the pics in this thread!
May 28th, 2010
I wouldn't use the word "stunning" for this, but it's one of my favorites:

May 29th, 2010
This is a great post! I am so inspired by seeing your amazing photos.

This is probably mine,
