Mine has to be this one. To get a Green so close is great but to then have the GSW also with the green was just great.

Probably the best shot of 2012 IMO..... Always think "wish I had took that" when I see it. Magical

I've not been active on TP for a very long time (I had an accident in 2011 and it stopped me taking many pictures for about 18 months) but I have managed to make a couple of trips this year. There's some great stuff on here and lots of names I don't recognise - which suggests I need to get more involved again.

Anyway, not sure this is my favourite overall image of the year but I do like the pose and I am trying a B&W conversion to try an limit the impact of the trees in the background (it has a slight selenium treatment to try and make it look cold - which it was!)

Anyway, this is a great grey owl hunting voles in the Finnish Arctic in March. No bait, just an owl doing what it does best.

EOS-7D, EF500 f/4L IS, 1.4x extender, Gitzo tripod, Wimberley head

Thanks for looking

A very hard choice, but I'd have to say I personally was most pleased by this Cape Sugarbird taken in Kirstenbosch, Cape Town at the end of last year.

As I said in the thread, nice shot, but this is for your best shot of 2012...I don't think we're in 2012 anymore :nono:
