After looking at some of the threads where people have linked to other sites showing the best photos of 2011 I thought it would be fun to see your favourite photo from 2011.
For me it has to be the photo below. I entered this photo in a competition and I won. The prize was $1,000 and I purchased a macro lens with my winnings. If I hadn't decided to participate in the 365project I would never have entered the competition.
This shot of Vernal Falls in Yosemite is my favorite. I'm afraid of heights, so I was super proud of myself for going up high enough to be able to take it.
I'm going to go with this one, just because it is a bit of a different style for me, and because I shot it for myself (rather than for a client's brief).
This is a VERY difficult question to answer...I have a few that I think are better "photography-wise"...others that are favourites because of the moment I captured or how I felt at that time...and others just because...
So. I've eventually gone for one that isn't really good photography as such, but it's the one photo of mine that the 365 community have given the most attention! It's also the only family photo I've taken (infact I've always been very reluctant to upload photos with people in) - and my family mean so much to me, so here they are, at their silliest!
This is not the one with the most views or favs (it only got 59 views and 1 fav), nor did it make the popular page, but of all the photos I took in 2011, it is my favorite.
Hard question, but I have to go with this one. I have a lot of personal reasons for choosing it, but basically it portrays how far I have come in the last year...
The year ain't over yet, but this one has become one of my favorites. Although it doesn't have the views of some of my others (read it might not be as good), I think I like it the best.
albeit it didn't get much recognition on 365, this is my personal fave pic i've taken for the year for personal reasons, which you can read about if you want to if you click on the pic.. Happy New Year, all!
This one is one of my favorites over the past year! This site has definitely helped me to become a better photographer and I thank all of you for pushing me to new levels!! Happy New Year all!!
Not the best technically...but personally after this photo I knew I had reached the point of no return. 365 is definitely helping me improve both technically and creatively...and I'm enjoying it to the core!
Wow, some awesome photos here! Hard to choose just one out of the year but for me I think it's a recent one. My favorite railroad bridge with a different view from my 10x24mm wide angle lens.
id have to chose this self portrait, it was my one faved popular pic for the year and it was 100% inspired by all the other brilliant self portraits i have seen here on 365 and something I had never considered before starting this project!
I took this all the way back in February on my little P&S before I got my DSLR. It brings back wonderful memories and although a posed shot the laughter is completely natural
Easy choice, this one is my favourite for the year by a long shot. It's straight-out-of-camera here but I'm using an edited version on my business card -- LINK -- which I have also had printed to canvas and hung proudly on my living room wall.
While there are still a few things I would change with this image, it is one of my favorites. I honestly can not choose just one. There are so many that mean various things to me. However I love the lighting the colors the expression and even the drool in this photograph.
I started in June, so am selecting from only half a year. I am going with this one because it reminds me of good times with my mom, who passed away July 24. Also, I took it with my niece and she tried it too. And last, the "dear photo" type thing was one thing I wanted to try and I finally found the perfect photo/place to do it.
I was so torn between two photos! I finally decided on this one because it was a real accomplishment to take this with my left hand, supporting Maggie with my right hand, and add the fact that the shutter button is on the right side of the camera which put my hand over the screen to get to the button and it is a wonder I was even able to snap a photo at all!
I'm really enjoying this as I missed so many of these photos the first time around. Choosing my favorite is tough. A top five would be so much simpler. I think it would have to be this one. Never made the PP, but I really like it. We were on vacation, it was my birthday, there was a hurricane coming.... Lol
Tough decision, but this one from June 18th was a quite unexpected find and a turned out to be a great photograph (especially in focus and composition) overall. Also, this has the most amount of comments I have ever received on one shot this year: 7
In some ways it seem silly to post my picture from yesterday as my favorite of the year...but in others it makes me realize how much I have learned this year. This picture ended up exactly how I hoped it would turn out ...which makes me happy. This will be the first picture I print and frame from the whole project!
Thank you to all of my followers and for all of the encouragement and comments this year.
This is hard!! Different ones for different reasons but I'm plumping for this one, which was my 8th picture, because it wasn't really planned, wasn't processed in any way at all and has an intensity that I like. Great thread - it's really fun looking at these!
Wow. There are some amazing photos here! It's difficult ot choose just one but I will go with this as it was a total surprise that this deer came into view when I was going to leave the area.
Probably still this one, from Valentine's Day 2011 -
I know it's nothing special, but it was really the first time I'd tried any "proper photography" - actually thinking up how I wanted the shot to come out, getting the right equipment for it, and spending time setting it up and making it look OK, instead of just pointing my camera and something nearby, pressing the shutter, and accepting whatever result I got.
I have lots of favourites really, many of them are of my boys, a mushroom pic or two and quite a few flower shots. I am posting this one as it was the photo which sent me off on a 'flowers in vase' tangent.
I can't go past this one I don't think. My three loves all together! I recently got this printed on a big canvas so I can look at it everyday in our home :)
Three months into the project I took this shot and it stayed on top 1 of my top 10 for seven months. It was an accidental success because I didn't know much about composition and editing back then but even after learning all that stuff I still like it. It shows that luck and a spur of the moment good idea are sometimes worth more than skill and planning ;).
While some of my frog shots have been more popular, this Owl in my front garden made me giggle like a little girl when I got this shot. I may have pee'd my pants, not quite sure I remember now, the whole moment was very exciting!
I just started this. I had to go through my Facebook albums to figure out which was my favorite. Then I had to figure out how to post pictures into the discussions. This pic was taken on sunset cruise in Key West. The sail lines in the setting sun look like an image out of an adventure to me.
It's either this one I took durign the wonderful weather we had in April. It was unplanned and a complete fluke that I arrived home in time to get it. It stayed #1 of my top 10 for months but now has dropped off the list.
Or this one taken in June on a break whilst driving through France on holiday
Both were unplanned and I was lucky I captured them!
Here is mine - although I found it hard to choose. I chose this because it was taken while we were on vacation and it's the only photo from the project I've had printed (and enlarged) to be framed. I love to look at this picture because the place where it was taken was so peaceful and beautiful.
pick ONE??? :) well, I think this one. I actually printed & framed it and it hangs in my dining room. Was very meaningful to me :) I had quite a few photos that I loved though :)
@nicolecampbell Congrats on your win and new-found passion!
For me, it was a hard choice between two selfies, but I love this one the best, becuse it is kind of unique:
I only posted it yesterday, but I freaking LOVE how this one came out. It wasn't what I was expecting. I have a huge fondness for a LOT of shots (some just for personal reasons) - but right now my love is going to this one:)
This is my favourite pic, It is one i took at a friends wedding and then photoshopped it black n white, It was just the best portrait natural shot i had done and it wa only after using and getting into photography for 3 months.
Tweets ahoy!

This would be my favorite photo this year
Hope Springs Eternal (part I) It represents so much of this year and the winding road that 2011 turned out to be...
I will decide for sure after the year is up.
id have to chose this self portrait, it was my one faved popular pic for the year and it was 100% inspired by all the other brilliant self portraits i have seen here on 365 and something I had never considered before starting this project!
My favourite by quite a way, taken back in September at the start of my project.
One of my favourites because it was a great end to a super day. The sun shining late onto the terrace bar overlooking the sea.
Finding a mama fox feeding her kits in my own backyard was pretty amazing.
I love this one - no editing but still looks beautiful
I did this not long after I begun the 365 project and I was astounded by the reaction of the community.
I guess this one. I couldn't pick one that dat day hihi ;p
The day I went Pop Art!

I think this is my fav but I have lots of favs and have learned so much from everyone that it is hard to choose.
Thank you to all of my followers and for all of the encouragement and comments this year.
I almost didn't upload this, but the reaction it continues to get amazes me!
I really love the simplicity of this photo :)

Sorry I can't get the picture up here!
one of my personal favourites is this one...

This photo was taken from a bumboat on the Singapore River in April 2011. It's my favourite shot of the year.
7 hours wait for this shot ...
Well, I think my favourite is still this one, from February 7:
Here's mine, taken just 1 day before the end of the year :)
Or this one taken in June on a break whilst driving through France on holiday
Both were unplanned and I was lucky I captured them!
For me, it was a hard choice between two selfies, but I love this one the best, becuse it is kind of unique:
Tomorrow, the answer may be different.
