Post the best image you made in 2006, and if you want, tell us why you think it's the best.

Here's mine:

Model:  Betcee May (https://www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=8001)

It's ironic -- I make fine art nude photographs nearly exclusively, but this one is my favorite of the year -- I just love the light & the composition (and Betcee always looks fabulous).

Has to be this one, "Pointe" ... unquestionably my personal favorite from 2006 - and part of my 2008 book of images shot at this particular location (hint: shooting this all through the year. Puget Sound area models should see my profile for info :-))

For me it's Mighty Mo, without a doubt.  Frankly, I think it's the best photo I've ever taken, period.

It combines all my favorite things - men and portraiture and rich emotional texture.  He's just marvelous.

I'm not sure if this thread is just for photographers or for models also, so I thought I'd post anyway.

I'm waiting on a few to be edited, but in the meantime...

I like the view of my back (soaking wet) in this one and my facial expression.

Though Not even a tenth of what I've taken has gone up on MM.

My favorite best is the only one in my port with no comments, HA smile

This one garnered the most positive attention in 2006 so I'll post it as my best MM image. To me it depicts how Lady Liberty, lonely and isolated from an angry world. Happy New Year~!!

do I really need to explain it? smile
(While Jessalyn had it up on her portfolio, this image got hundreds of hits and a couple of dozen comments)

This is the most popular image in my portfolio, based on hits & comments: https://img4.modelmayhem.com/060625/21/ … 908dac.jpg (18+)

Okay -- I'm the OP, so I can refine the rules:

What is your own personal favorite photo made in 2006?  Don't let other people vote (e.g. count comments or hits); I just want to see the image you made that was the most satisfying to you personally.

I would prefer to see only one image from each poster.

Also, I'm finding that I really like hearing from you why you like your choice the best.  Was the image outside your usual comfort zone?  Did it represent a change in your syle?  Was it just a massive alignment of the planets that blessed you with a good image?

So, c'mon -- let's see them.

My first implied nude shoot. It's exactly what I was hoping to achieve and it's gotten great response.

There's a couple, but this one got more hits and comments than anything else. Madaline's a whole buttload of fun to work with, too.

I feel that these two images are the best from my efforts this year.  I love the feeling, warmth & sensuality of them both.

It has the most comments, and everyone commented on one of 3 things: the intense look on my face, my arms, or the way it was photoshopped. Thanks for all the love you all. Happy New Year and God bless!
