Post Your best 2011 shot thread

[Neil B]

Thought it would be good to have a " 1 best shot 2011" for the bird section
Been some fantastic images on here this year and would be good to get them all on one thread

 

[sturs]

good idea, now you have me thinking??? I was just saying to the wife I need to do my yearly review so I will post something in the near future.

 

[docholiday]

Ok I will offer a start. My best from my first year photographing birds.

 

[markyboy.1967]

Possibly not my best but defo my most satisfying as i had tried for months to get near this guy.

 

[SLRUser]

My fav shot from this year...

 

[MWHCVT]

No to the stunning standard already posted here but I don't spend as much time taking pictures of birds and the residents of this section so I wouldn't expect to be as good as you lot

Well I put this one up in another thread as being one of my best shots, mainly as it was the best Nuthatch shot to date. There would probably be a couple more shots for various reasons.

This is my favourite, was very happy to see one of these (in all honesty my wife pointed it out, just as I suggested leaving the hide!).

 

[Neil B]

Had a great time this year following Barn owls and watching for flight paths with some nice light on them. Barn owl watching = addictive

Great quality shots in this thread

 

[Big Andy]

This is my favourite, was very happy to see one of these (in all honesty my wide pointed it out, just as I suggested leaving the hide!).

I don't think your wide would like that typo.

 

[Kaolin]

Thanks, I am sure see would not.

I'm certainly no wildlife/bird photographer, but I took this one during a break at Center Parcs this year which I like. Not up to the standard of most of the above however, there's some great shots here!

I think it has to be this one. Had two great weekends with these birds and can't wait till next year to see them again.

[tijuana taxi]

[artyman]

Joe that is a fantastic shot!

 

[Cap'n Fishy]

Some crackers posted. Love the light on the dozing barn owl - you just wouldn't want to wake it. Not taken many birds this year, but I'll chip in with this one...

A hard choice for me so to make it easier to choose I have chosen this barn owl image as they are my favourite bird.
