These are all fabulous in their own way. Very colorful, striking, and emotive. I have to pick the sky shot, though, with that incredible cloud formation as being my favorite. But I'm a sucker for landscape shots! Well done!
Russ, these are all beautiful but Replenish has to be my favourite. Do you have merekats in the wild?
Phenomenal photos, Russ!
I had not seen the Avalanche Lake one before - freakin' gorgeous!
When I first saw 'Best of 2009' as the title for this post, I thought I'd see that 'Smokey Sunset' photo I like so much... but looking at it again and then these, I can kind of see why you didn't select it. I still like that photo a lot but these are exceptional.
'Replenish' is the winner here, imo!
Keep on snapping!
Thanks!
Jo - sadly, we have no wild merekats. Hopefully, I'll be able to visit them in the wild sometime...
MTB -Thanks! The smokey sunset photo is from 2008. If I'd had thought to do a "Best of 2008", I would have used that one! Jeez - time flys!
Such lovely shots!
It is really difficult to favor just one.
Have a great year ahead clicking. :)
