You Capture - Ten Favorites

Beth's You Capture assignment this week was to pick ten of our favorite photos from 2010. Of course that's quite impossible because some of us took way too many pictures in the past year and there just aren't enough hours in the week to browse through all of them. And then, some of us are poor decision makers (me) and we get mixed up between great photos and favorite photos and then we start looking for great ones and there aren't many (any). Then finally we settle for a few of our very favorites. Maybe a couple more than ten.

In no particular order, here are my favorites.

For more favorites from 2010, visit Beth at Ishouldbefoldinglaundry and maybe browse through your favorites and post them.

  3. I'm so glad you participate in You Capture. I love seeing your work. The last one of the swans is awesome, but all the swan shots, especially the attack ones, are very good. I love the heron stalking the pond. And the swan flying? Did you share that one previously? It rocks! The first is high on my list of faves, too. And your sunsets? Ah... I can only imagine how you struggled to come up with 10 faves. I look forward to more in 2011.

There are so many that you could frame, and then give to me...;) Great job picking out your favorites, I have to agree with you on your choices!

  21. Great collection! I knew your pond would feature heavily. Love that swan in flight, it's so sharp and the background is so perfect it doesn't even seem real (in a good way).

Short or long, it's up to you, your comments and thoughts really make my day!
