You Capture - Give Me Your Best Shot

Oh the humanity. How could anyone be such a tough taskmaster. How can she expect me to post just one photo. It's almost impossible. I take about a thousand pictures a week and I like almost all of them. Some of them I love - almost always more than one.

I take pictures of the swan family, the goose family, the duck families and lots of other creatures that make Striebel Pond their home. I take pictures of the water, the sky, and the reflections in the water and I like almost all of them. Then there are the sunsets and my backyard and the pond. And of course the grandchildren and great grandson. Making it even more complicated is the fact that a lot of them were in town this weekend and we had get-togethers. We had house guests which practically guarantees fun, touching, and spontaneous photos.

So what is the one picture that I'm posting this week? DUCKS! Not a duck family with adorable little babies trailing along behind their mom. Nope, just four drakes and a hen and somehow their picture became the one. (You might have to double-click on it to appreciate it.)

Five Mallards - just hanging out.

What a great You Capture this has been. I love that we could choose whatever subject we wanted although it was challenging to choose just one. That, however, was an eye-opener too. It's not always the subject that you love that makes a good picture. Sometimes it just happens. For more You Capture Best Shot photos visit Beth at Ishouldbefoldinglaundry. It might be interesting to see if anyone else had as much trouble choosing just one picture as I did.
