These are my current forty (!) final candidates for my “2012 Favorite Photographs” post that I hope to share later this week. This is still way too many, and my target is to try to get the number down to about half of this. I’m happy to hear your feedback in whatever form works best for you: identifying one or a few favorites, suggesting your “top X number” of them from within the group, your favorites of each of the various types, or even suggestions of photographs of mine that are not included in this list.

If you didn’t already know, this is a tough job!

Some of my criteria for the final selection include:

• representing a range of genres – landscape (both large and small), night photography, wildlife, urban landscape, nature, and so forth.
• incorporating both color and monochrome work.
• balancing representational work with photographs that are a bit more conceptual, atmospheric, and so forth.
• recognizing work that others tell me they like.
• sharing photographs that are personal favorite of mine.

The gallery thumbnails show below are small and may omit portions of images, so click on an image to see a larger version. Once you click on that first image you can use the right/left arrows to navigate through the larger versions of the photographs throughout the entire gallery.

Thanks for looking and for whatever feedback you are willing to share. (Leaving a comment below is a great way to do this.)
