Your personal favourite shot you took
Discussion
I don't think this thread has been done before. It was an element of a different thread. I hope it isn't anyway!
Seeing Neil's (McMacro) fantastic mother & daughter shot recently, and what he instantly thought of it got me thinking. We have a lot of top photographers on this forum and everyone's taste is different. My personal favourite shot I have taken is no where near my most popular; it isn't even top 20 by Flickr's stats.
So what is your favourite shot you have taken and why?
I'll start us off.
Success comes in many forms
I thought this spider was genius. He built a web, flat, across an entire leaf and as flies landed on the leaf they got stuck. The spider was sitting in the exact centre with more food around him than a fat Sheikh. Most spiders have to pounce on anything that hits the web, but this little guy found success in a far easier method
Took me a while to get the composition right but I love the shot.

MX-5 Follow The Leader by Lewis Craik, on Flickr
At the time these were the current top 4 is the Ma5da Racing championship and running nose to tail in the race too. I've got a big print of this on my office wall.
Freeeeedddooommm! by bicycleshorts, on Flickr
Purely for the simplicity. It's the first shot I feel I've just 'captured' rather than slaved over for half an hour with various different exposures/angles etc.
Quite a tough one to decide that isnt it.. This one for me, I think

Why: It was my second attempt at lightpainting a car and somehow I managed to get the result I wanted. Its also my most viewed so that may be swaying my choice a touch..

Still my personal fav, auto contrast and sharpen, but no other Photoshop.

Well, it's not really that, but my much better shots from my last shoot are embargoed at the moment

Nothing like the quality of the snaps on here so far.
But then again I'm not much of a photographer - and I don't have much of a camera.
But thesetwo one I love. Mainly becuse it reminds me exactly what it's like to be fishing when I'm sat at my stupid desk doing stupid work.

Lossie beach sunset web by chrisj_abz, on Flickr
reasons - its taken at Lossiemouths west beach, where i spent a fair bit of time walking across it during the year i stayed in Lossie about 500yds away from where i took this pic. in addition the future mrs chrisj is from lossie as well and we spent a few dates walking here or just sitting in the car park overlooking the beach during the first few months we were going out.
So it was a shot id been looking to do for a while, and no doubt i'll be taking a few more there next year!
