BEST pictures of 2005!!

Hi guys,

Come on, let's get this thread going with lots of pics from all of you. All you have to do is post a picture of anything...a watch, person...just about any damn thing...which you feel looks terrific and is, in your opinion, the BEST picture of this year!!

My vote goes out to this one...the most touching image of a father and a son on the beach...and a picture of the cutest little fella you can imagine!! Little Josh has just gotta be the most lovable, squashable, cuddleable, kissable kid on this block!!!

Don't worry JJ. Pictures will be coming soon because we're probably getting a new camera today.

This is one of my favourites.

After trying to catch an image of this great grey shrike in the daylight and failing. I took a chance on this shot and I think it came out alright.

A bit late, but as I don't have a watch to photograph until wednesday, here are a few of my favourite shots from 2005
This one was by chance, not photoshop...didn't realise the jet was there until i opened the image up on the pc


Took this one out of the window of a Virgin 747 over Southern Greenland on the way to L.A. (then 2 weeks at wsop in Vegas)


Been trying for years to get a decent photo of a male Bearded Reedling, still not perfect but it cheered me up

Thanks everyone. Yep, that's my personal website, though I run a few big vB boards as well.
Although I known for 'digiscoping', the moon and bird shot was with more traditional methods of a dslr and big lens (nikon d2x and 600mm f4 + teleconverter).
cheers
Andy

You can say that - I can't think of anything I've taken in 2005 that would compare to those!

This one means a lot, our first holiday after Anne's recovery from cancer, my daughter Kayleigh on the right, her niece Soraya on the left. Picture taken in Portugal last August.

Great pic Frans. Both girls are beautiful! Good thing your daughter takes after her mother!

BTW, I assume the pic was taken in the Algarve? What town?

Thanks JJ, but there are much better pics, technically speaking. Besides, I never really liked that pic of him. He looks goofy with those shades on, lol

This one I like:

More closely represents the mischevious lil bugger
BTW, I'm about to have to uninstall the toilet he threw his plastic ball down just as it was flushing..........

I'll take a guess at Vilamoura.
