Street & PJ Favorites 2011

Richard

It's that time of year again. Time to look back over the past year and pick your favorite shot. When complete, this thread will be added to the forum sticky with the previous years. The same rules apply this year as last, with one minor twist:

• Choose one and only one shot. Yeah, I know that's hard but it will hone your editorial skills.
• The shot needn't be your "best," only your favorite.
• The shot must have been posted on Dgrin in 2011. If you have one that you have not previously posted, start a new thread with it before posting it here.
• Please include a link to the original thread along with the image.
• If you wish, you may enter someone else's shot instead of your own, but please get permission from the owner first.
• If you want to comment on a pic, please do so in the original thread, not this one. I'd like this thread to be images only.

As usual, this is not a contest and there will be no voting or winner. It's just for the pleasure of scrolling through some great images. This thread will remain open till 15 January 2012.

My fave for 2011

I know "Turn" probably has more impact (Thanks to "richard" for nominating it for the "DGrin photo of the Year"), but I really like this one:



In the portfolio PDF, I wrote:

“COME ON people, this is our FUTURE!” she cried out, as she held up her sign. I took a dozen photos of her, seeing in my mind’s eye a vision of the Goddess Venus rising up from the chaos to send a message to humanity, instead of displaying her beauty. I understood the Occupy movement then - this unknown young woman might possibly have been a “trust fund baby,” as some have accused many young OWS protestors of being. Even if so, she was seeing her own future in danger and she and countless others, were doing something about it.

I'm humbled by the images on this forum but want to toss this one into the mix. Originally posted here http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=212375 to qualify. Ladies at lunch in Rome.

There are some wonderful images here, I'm so glad to see them all in one place, knowing I've missed out on seeing some of the shots throughout the year.
