The Best Picture You've Ever Taken thread

[dpcamp]

i took a turd that was literally 2 feet long... best pic evar.

ok ok, back to the original rules. Post the 1 best picture you have. If you have more, start your own random pictures thread. maybe someone will look at it. if they don't, you probably suck at taking pictures.

you said yourself that it didn't have to be the technically best photo. if you leave the interpretation to the photographer, the 'best' photo will be constantly changing.

 

for example, this is my current favorite, from my vacation. despite the plain composition and the horrendous noise, there is emotion attached to it:

One of my favorites...a dragonfly in Indiana.

I just love my daughter's face in this one...

This is seriously an awesome picture. With a little editing it would be wall hanging material.

I couldn't agree more Jason!

 

Amazing shot for sure...

you're overthinking this one, imo.

I already posted, but I have a new favorite. I'll probably change my mind again in a few days, but oh well.

I just posted this in the sexy shrimp thread, but I would say this is the best aquarium picture I have ever taken. It looks like he is about to jump over the edge.

Took this on a big sailboat during sales club vacation in Puerta Vallarta. Always thought it was a cool picture with the sun coming out from behind the sail.

Actually, it's an overexposed outdoor bathtub, but we can pretend.

do you use regular editing software to water mark your photos? i'm ready to go pro and I don't need my ish landing in nat-geo without my permission.

I mostly like this because of how awesome my luck was. First off that was with my 3.2 mega pixel phone! It was on a windy day so the branch of the magnolia was all over the place and all I wanted was a pic of the cool caterpillar but it ended up being really nice.

Taken with a Canon SX20is on "auto".
