Here are some of my perfect shots...

The Bluesman
Black Magic Woman
Bridge Of Sighs I
Baroque

These aren't necessarily my favorite shots, but they are near the top of my personal favorite list for sure. I have some favorite shots that don't meet the perfect photo criteria because I think they could be better.

I've always really liked that Black Magic Woman shot.

](this url will bring up lots of angel portraits, it's the one that's enlarged that is my favorite)[/quote]
Herring, I enjoyed looking at your portraits very much. I love the little boy with chocolate on his face, and so many others. Beautiful.

Wow! What great shots! JAK I always really liked your "Desparate" shot. Amy, tell us some more about the "Dancin' the night away" shot. Is it done with post-processing or was the lighting that way. It is really awesome. Scab, the skateboard shot is awesome too. So much talent here.

I know that by far, my favorite of mine is THIS SHOT that really hooked me on DPC. It is a shot of my very favorite subject and won my only ribbon among my near misses. I've learned so much since then but I still go back and look at it and wonder what I was thinking!

Keep 'em coming folks!

All of these are awe inspiring shots! I can't wait for the weekend so I can give each shot the attention it deserves.

Using John's model as a guide, I would have to say that Malia @ Sunset is as close to a perfect shot as I've taken.

everyone's photos are soooo amazing!! i'm honored (and more than a little intimidated...lol) to be in the presence of such talent!

i would have to say that these are the photos which fill me with pride every time a look at them.

wow. The variety of everyone's favourites is amazing: says something about why photography is so intriguing - in that there IS no 'perfect photo': not for everyone. Some humblingly good stuff here though.

So here's my little contribution (only small version on-line at the moment I fear)

Hey Doug ... your shot is really cool .. i think of that shot everytime i'm in the tub or shower - hehehe

About Dancing the Night Away this is actually straight from the camera ... no post processing ... maybe one touch of sharpen whole image ... but I just happened to catch the lighting and that couple ... and I was sitting about 20 feet from them ... thanks :)

Thanks everyone for your nice comments...all the photos posted are great. John, I like that bluesman shot of yours best of all. Being a guitarist I have a soft spot for them Gibsons.

That Golden Gate shot was taken 1024x768 (long road trip to San Francisco, thank you Memory Stick!) handheld at full frame (no crop) and almost no levels adjustment. Unsharped it once and converted to greyscale. The colour version isn't so great...the bridge isn't so much red as faded orange (on that side, anyways) and in some spots grey or brown. I like how the fog makes the lampposts stand out in a 3D-sort of manner. Noticed that afterwards, of course...as with most of my best photographs, I shot it full automatic and let the camera choose the correct settings (shhh!).

Was driving north up Highway 1 in my Miata (highly recommended trip). A shot I took over the windscreen, also one of my faves, about 20 minutes later:

Highway 1, Marin County

Cheers,

James.

A ton of great shots through here!!
This is one of my favorites...has not really been edited (Unsharp, etc), but I did apply PSE2 effects to a copy of it to look give the appearance of hand painted. Surprised I got the picture at all, with one arm being pulled out of its socket and trying to steady for the shot at the same time. (C:

Can't say that I've ever took a perfect image.

I agree with the idea that it would evoke strong feelings that could cover anything across the full spectrum of human emotion and is meaningful to the photographer.

It should also be technically perfect: cropping, lighting, shadow, color (or lack thereof) and positioning of the subject in the frame.
