I don't shoot much wildlife. I do like this one, however.
I like the reflection and the grace. The black water is the happy accident that happened when I tried to save the detail in the white feathers of the duck.
Nice thread!
Here's one of my favorites. I like it because it was one of my first bird shots and I remember how exciting I felt. I also like the way the sunset colors come through.
I think this one is one my best. I really liked the way I stopped the action in this shot. The pose is great....
Maybe you need something to wake you up... take a look at this web site for a while...
:yikes that's diabloical!!! I'm sure the new federal regulations on decency prohibit that kind of stuff.

Here are a couple of my favorites, both of them because of the same reason. I took the time and waited for the shot, I saw both shots coming and was ready when it was time to click the shutter.

Thanks for the kind comments. My friends call me "Jake", so feel free to do the same.
Here is my second favorite image which was taken this Spring. What I really liked about this image was the expression on the wolf along with the gentle falling snow. I have been doing a lot of wolf photography over the past two years and I enjoy observing their behavior.
Definitely feel a bit intimidated with the caliber of images posted.
But it did say post what we think are two of our best. So here I go.
One of the first really decent bird captures using my TCON-17. The light was perfect. The Robin even posed giving me the time to properly compose the shot.
This was my best butterfly capture. I just loved these Blue Morphos.

I love that shot, The "happy accident" is very effective here.

Welcome to Dgrin Jake and I am eagerly awaiting viewing some more of your work.

Wow, I am just blown away by all the shots that have been posted so far. Great job y'all.

I really like how the warm and cool reflections in the water work with the subject. (lesser scaup) The flow of direction is leading away to the upper right corner, but the scaup's half-turned head slows the momentum just slightly. These are really pretty ducks, but are difficult to capture in a photograph because of their dark head and neck.
The second photo is an older one of a pair of black-shouldered kites. It is not technicall my best photo, but I like it for other reasons. I waited about forty-five minutes, or longer, for them to return to these branches. I like the interaction and tension between the two birds. Raptors get very tense when another raptor gets too close, even if they are siblings.
Still trying figure out how to post multiple images, hope it worked.
1. The egrets in the first shot were a complete surprise, at first I was just photographing the elephant, then all of these egrets burst out of the grass.
2. The heron sitting on the alligators head? Well thats why I like it because the log looks like an alligators head.
Beautiful shots everyone, thanks for sharing, very inspiring.

Well I've thought about this thread for awhile, and in all honestly I don't have a favorite. I'm pretty fickle and my favorite is always replaced by my next shot. Now I do have some favorite photo's but I can't post em here on a G forum :wow
I certainly wanna play soooo by popular vote and a couple sales I guess this one is a favorite, still working on a 2nd one
Ok Ok I found one I personally like.
This one reminds of all the time Jeff and I spent stalking this fellow and how rare he seems to be here in SoCal. Never really did get a real killer shot of the Orange Bishop but this particular shot glows the same way I glow when out Machine Gunning

Ya know...someone should put a nice book together with this thread (The Wildside of Smugmug 2006). I'd buy it.
