My Best Images From 2017

Here are my favourite images from 2017.

📷

Every year at Jim Goldstein invites his readers to his blog project.

... to list the years best photos from my readers and social media followers. I've run this blog project every year since 2007 and each year I've been blown away by the quality of images and the number of participants. This year I will be collecting participants details via this form. If you're a new participant you can see past years results.

Here are my favourite images from 2017. I wanted to narrow these down to 10 but ... I just couldn't. All of these images have special significance for me. They are not technically great images but they are the ones with the most emotional impact.

My Best Images From 2016

📷

Every year Jim Goldstein runs a blog project asking his readers to list the year's best photos. He's run this blog project every year since 2007 and each year. Here are my best in 2016. It was tough. I took a lot of images this year. Per Jim's direction, I culled these down to ten.

I enjoyed the process of culling the images. I had to focus on why I liked a particular photo and also on whether I had done my best editing. It was an enjoyable challenge.
