| How about showing us your favorite images, and telling a little bit about the story behind it? Here is mine: 
This image was taken along the Murray River in the state of Victoria, Australia, near the town of Echuca. I remember I was rushing looking for a site to setup for the sunset, and stumbled upon this spot. What I like about this image is that it reminds me of the peace I felt sitting along the river, hearing the birds singing, and remembering the color of the light, as the sun went down. It may not be my best image, but it is my favorite.

 I was visiting my younger brother Jerry, who also is a very good photographer, and he suggested a visit to nearby Fort Massachusetts out in Biloxi Bay. A nice boat ride out and we were exploring the old brick fort that was built at the end of the Civil War by the Confederacy and never put into service. This was my favorite shot from that day, my brother posed for me to get what I wanted. The 35mm film was underdeveloped but had detail so it gets printed on high contrast paper. The print got me Photo of the Year from my local camera club, Cobb Photographic Society, and everyone seems to like it. I love the way the light filters in under the arches in these old forts. We have another one of a similar design here in Georgia called Fort Pulaski that my wife and I like to visit any time we are near the area.

Wow, that is absolutely great Gary. I love the tones and the grain. No wonder it is a favorite image of yours, and a great way to remember your brother. Thanks for sharing.

Gary, great shot. Robert, I like it...shame that some people would think it was photoshop that made this. It is so depressing to think that we are loosing the patience and care it takes to make photographs.
For mine I am in the same boat as Robert, my favorite image is one that apparently no one likes and could not sell to save my life. I just sold the first print of the series after 4 years of trying to sell it.
I guess the tones and tonal transitions do not translate well into digital, the print feels so airy and vibrant, in a monitor looks boring.

You are right Jorge, this is an image that can only be produced by hard work and craftsmanship, not moving a mouse around the screen. I for one think it is a great image, the tones are absolutely wonderful, and you are right, it has a very light feel to it. To be honest, this type of image makes me want to walk through the same building, and see the same sky, and makes me wonder about the people that built it. Thanks for sharing.
