Not my best but one I have on this computer (pics are kept on another one). I took this last week at the Flight 800 Memorial on Long Island (Smith Point Beach).
I like this one...wish I hadn't unintentionally cut out the first flag (USA), it was a tough angle for the neck.

Not my best as it is so hard to choose a "best" shot, but a shot of "you had to be there to see this". This was taken in Puerto Spain in 1999 with a Pentax ME Super and Kalimar 500mm lens using ISO 100 Fuji film. This was an actual matador (the red color of his cape separates the matadors from the matadors in training), and he did walk away.

I think this one is my best. I took it last spring not far from where I live. On the windswept plains of southern Saskatchewan, the prairie crocus is often the first living thing to poke it's head out of the ground. They usually bloom around Easter. I was fortunate enough to find a whole field of them.

Nice photos, gentlemen!
I think these fotos, taken on the same day, so far, have been the most interesting that I have taken. Certainly, it was a peaceful day and I shared it with my son. Washington was new. The moss was everywhere. The earth was just fantastically...earthy.
Several years before I had moved to Washington, I had a made ceramic mask of a womans face with tree roots as her hair, and then a tree growing out the top of her head. Nestled in the branches was a smaller mask, a babies face, bronze/gold glaze. I remember I had to wear a special respirator mask to apply the glaze. It was a featured ceramics display at a college in Texas, dry, dry no tree Texas..lol... That particular piece was injured in a minor rumbling earthquake several months after we moved to Washington, and I still have the pieces, but haven't yet glued them back. The babies mask was spared (Phew). Mostly the limbs broke.
And then, voila, several years go by, no longer in Texas, and there were my tree roots, and there was my son in the tree. It was an incredible day for me, seeing how it all came together.
(I'd have bunch of different smilies in here..but the smiley bar is not working for me..sigh...)

My best razor shot. . .
I recently upgraded my camera to a Coolpix P300, which is quite impressive for a point-and-shoot. (No RAW, if that makes a difference; however it's intended as a back-up camera to a forthcoming DSLR.)
I took the shot on a sheet of white paper, underneath a patio door. I liked the light, which was diffused but quite bright. I've been playing around with shadow on my razor shots, and this one came out in the right place. I also wanted to show the differences between the Old Type and NEW gillette ball-end handle razors:
Gillette Old Type, NEW

Only an iphone pic, but imagine my suprise walking into the local liquor store and seeing this!
I hardly know if this is my best, but I really liked it.
One of my recent faves. She has since passed on:
And a random flower shot just to lighten the mood:

Ok...I'm by no means a photographer, but I really enjoy shooting pictures. Nothing the quality of what's been posted, but these are my personal faves:
In order....my grandson, granddaughter, friends kid, and my new puppy. The first one is my absolute favorite....perhaps one of my best shots. He was drinking out of the sprinkler....I got down on my belly about two feet away and shot a bunch of pics while he was bubbling away!

How fun on the first one, Kopio. Good shots.
Actually....it was a ton of fun. I have a small book of shots (5-7) from that, and they are all pretty golden. He completely ignored me while I was doing it, which made it all the more candid. Thanks for the compliment btw...nice to hear from someone who shoots as nice of shots as you!
O, thanks. That's kind.
I'm getting better at watch photography. That sounds like boasting, but I mean it in the sense of better than I was. It's all relative.
I took these earlier today and I'm quite happy with how they turned out, because I'm figuring out how to use light in photographs.

And no, I can't play the piano, unfortunately. My youngest can sit there and make music come out of it, and she's never had a lesson - we've got to get her some tuition before she learns bad habits.

I don't have much but here's a few that I took except 1...
This is at the park not too far from my place. There's always 2-3 black Swans swimming around.

Those colors are great in the 2 trees foto. Wow. Were the colors enhanced or? How do I get my camera to do THAT?
I like your other fotos as well.
I'm enjoying this thread.
