Haha I like this guy... somehow I wish the shoes and other parts of the image were blurry to draw just a little more attention to the man but great as it is

really great shot all around, I'm sure the 1's were from folks who didn't think it to be 'real', I'm curious myself!

Im a big fan of this shot... I think it really captures the mood of a poker game. The motion of the card-player's hand... the intense stare of concentration... all great. The foreground elements of the chips/smokes is what seals the deal. Might be my fave of your shots!

Bear - The story behind this shot is somber and haunting, the coincidence is just crazy, and I am so sorry for your losses and especially their proximity to one another.

It is peculiar, indeed, how life can work out. In my own shot of my father, it was literally the last picture on the memory card from the day and the last picture I ever took of him, and he died hunting in the same place where the photo was taken a month later. I don't know if it is the same for you, but the strangeness in the coincidences is somehow comforting, kinda makes me think about fate, though I admit I may just be searching for and pulling out meaning where none exists.

In any case, I like your photograph, the dizziness, the mood, all that. A great photo to be your 'most meaningful'.
