Show us your best photos (not watch related)

I've been going through some of my photos to enter in a regional photography contest. It's hard to pick "the best" as it seems that what I like best and what others feel are the best photos aren't always the same. I know there are some very talented photographers here on TRF. Please post a few of your favorites here. Some of my photos below are scans of 35 mm shots, others are DSLR shots.


Children in Chuuk, Micronesia playing in the rain in World War II jail ruins:





My grandson's blue eyes this weekend:





Nurses in Shanghai hospital:





Copper Harbor, Michigan:





Children living on garbage barge in Shanghai river:





Girl at Buddhist temple in Xian, China:





Mountain sheep in Utah:

I can't take pictures either, wish I could, I have always admired clear crisp photo's, when they are done expertly the subject matter almost doesn't matter to me, I love the examples so far, they are stunning!!

If you'd taken it in 2012 you'd have had a point!

Some photos can cause one to doubt life's decisions. Like, "Why do I live Up North?"
