    Great idea for this Raiven! Choosing one is going to be so difficult!
    yes, that's what I was thinking. I chose this one:


    I chose it because it represents what this forum has been able to provide me in terms of knowledge and support. After frequent tries at Orton and composition this seems to be the one the finally coalesced.

    This is cool seeing these older photos again. Too often we view them in a moment as we rush through the forums trying to keep up and then never see it again.
    Good choice Bambi ... I remember thinking something at the time along the lines of "Here we go ... she's stepped up now!"

    I love the one you picked. Can't remember if I saw if before so it's good to see.

    this thread was a good idea Raiven!

    Cool stuff, everyone.

    This is definitely a seredipitous photo and not one that I had planned but when I saw this busker on the Eau Claire promenade just outside Prince's Island Park I felt this was something special. I took a few shots of her and this version is the one I favoured. I tried to eliminate anything that distracted from the beauty of the photo and the girl, her instrument, the summery foliage and those huge black urns reflecting the city all work together to create a mini fantasy right in our own backyard. ( I believe, anyway). It took me a couple of tries to get the processing right but I think it works.

    For "Best of 2009" I'd have to pick the one below. I really like the way it turned out and the reactions of everyone on the forum when they saw it. I was walking through the Public Gardens in Halifax looking for interesting shots. I just happened to look in the right direction and the shot materialized in my head when I saw it. The only distraction, which I obliterated thanks to the clone tool, was the large green garbage bin at the end of the path. It's now a brownish bush which looks much nicer.



    It was a total trip down memory lane going back over my old posts though. Everyone should try it at least once.
