There are a lot of good ones for me; I've said "wow" on more than occasion. But one that I have in my favorites that is just amazing to me is A Tranquil Reflection by Jean:
I can just imagine sailing out a couple hundred yards and hitting a backdrop. :)

Only a thumb, it is a disqualified photo. Found it a minute ago when I was searching for it for another discussion.

:) Any photo that pops into my head when I am composing shots during a regular workday as something to emulate is very much deserving of being talked about a LOT on this site. Glad ot make your day, though it is a well earned compliment. |

It's also on his website here. Bruno's still around - he's busy going to photo school, running his business and not ever submitting to challenges. |

I'm going to post my top 5. I simply cannot choose only 1.
    
Also, I must add. I could easily add another 10 to these, but I didn't want to hijack the thread with so many awesome pictures!

One of my all time favorite pictures on this site, and was my favorite in the last Free Study Challenge. The textures are incredible - the scratchy wool look of the sleeve, well worn hands, the dogs fur, the pure ice blue of its eye. Then the emotion it evokes - the eye contact that the dog has with the viewer holds you with his look, but there is a feeling of BOUNDARY. The Dog is in possession of the scratcher and in possesion of this moment and you are being held away for one more moment.... just one more moment... with that gaze alone. Yet, hes smiling, so its still "OK". Its not a threatening distance, its just a private moment. :) Then the colors - dark, rich and slighltly cool to bring you in and hold you, but also give a feeling of not being invited to be scratched too. This photo is pure genius.
I want my daughters to marry someone who has a laugh like this. The white on white highlights the pure laughter, the smile and the hair. Hair thats totally carefree and a smile that echoes this (mmm, also the scruffy shadow of beard). The loss of the eyes in the squinch of the smile is perfect. The warm tone of the Tshirt - makes the wearer of the shirt seem warm too. The wall is rough, yet the skin is smooth. All of the contradicting tones and colors and textures work to completely highlight the mood and personality of this portrait. This is the type of work I try to capture when shooting people, its beautifull.
and finally:
The colors are rich, the abstract pulls you in lines that bring you in a motion that reminds one of blossoming - its UP and OUT and makes the "tulip" that was shot seem clear. The colors and the smooth transition in the blur also evoke one of those base emotions that makes you want to lick the computer screen because it seems like it might taste as smooth as it looks. This is a photo where the abstraction is perfect because it evokes all of my other senses in its composition and tone - I hear a warm breeze in grass in the greens and dusty blue, I feel velvet petal textures, I smell a summer at dusk. You forget your LOOKING at a photo because you are so busy EXPERIENCING it. Absolutly what an abstract should try to entail. :)
Theres a bunch more, but these are some of the ones that havent been mentioned and deserve to be.... :)

I can't explain why this image just does something for me, but I can look at it again and again and it makes me smile. It is something I don't see here, it is a moving moment stopped in a split of a second and it is of animals, my favorite subject.

One is an impossible question. But I'll just put the first image that ever moved me to click "add to favorites."

Don't have to be a mom, I adore this photo. Just sheer human connection, along with the technicals; I raved over it during that challenge. |
