....but, now let's see your best photo ever.

And where did you capture this wonderful image?

....this shot was taken in front of my house on the southern pacific coast of costa rica. they are the southernmost subspecies of of the two subspecies of squirrel monkeys that we have in costa rica, Saimiri oerstedii oerstedii.

now, let's see your best photo.

That's a tough assignment. My thousands of photos (almost all scenery) were taken with point & shoot cameras, or android phone. Also, in more than 20 years at DU I've never posted one of my photos. I had to find the "how to" thread, so hopefully this works:

Well, that didn't work. The link will take you to the pic, but the image didn't download in the text of this post.

Anyway, it's not among the more scenic photos among my albums but it captured a moment of human interest with a father coaching his very young son how to climb at Anglin Falls, Kentucky. Photo of the falls is in the link below.

you need to start posting your photos here.

i couldn't figure out how to access the direct link of your photos to post here so the photo would show up in-line. it's possible that shutterfly only allows the account owner to do that.

I noticed the shadow were particularly interesting. For reference, I am 5 ft tall and Diego is only about 13 pounds. Technique is beyond amateur but the composition is interesting, I think 🤨

thank you for sharing it

Great eye!

the photographer's skill, not the subject. The space you left at the top makes the elongation more dramatic. The shadows have room to breath.

I like that little Diego looks like a Batman Doggo!

I have too many favorites from my camera to make a quick decision.

do you process your phone shots in the phone with software on the phone or export to Ps or something?

I was just playing around with new software. The sky was no where near that dramatic. I ended up placing in a public lands photo contest and won some cool swag. This is in Southern Idaho where the California trail splits from the Oregon trail. My wife's family settled the area.

...that it was processed, but it was done so tastefully. i love every detail, including the bird sitting on the wagon.

I didn't think I still had the original shot but I do. This was out of camera.

That is captivating, thank you for this.

At first I thought it was a pic from a CPAC after party...

Those are beautiful little creatures. Thanks, for sharing and please continue to post your wonderful pics.

That is just too cute for words.

She was drinking a glass of wine outside in Truro, Massachusetts at sunset, and just happened to snap this pic at the right moment



No treatment or enhancement (we wouldn't have the slightest idea how). Just straight from her phone to my email.

This one's not good enough, but it's fitting for a discussion board such as DU. This is from the Immigrants' March, February 5, 2017, in Harrisburg, PA. The pointing man is activist/artist Gene Stilp. He made the statue and is known famously for building and placing a replica of the Statue of Liberty on a pier in the Susquehanna River north of Harrisburg. He arrived at the march in a big red pickup truck on which was mounted an oversized screw replica that read "Screw Trump." I took a photo that I might post. He also ran and lost for state representative in 2014.

It isn't even sharp, but we were in an old bar/café I used to hang out at when I was living in Spain in my teens.

In 1998, 30 years later, when we were 46, I took my wife there, and lo and behold, the same guy was still running it. Even though she speaks no Catalan, my wife was having a great time, and I got this one shot of her that just really reflected her true inner nature. It was always my favorite photo of her:

i had not seen either of these before....really beautiful.

It was hard to choose! I appreciate your support a lot.
