The 2012 Countdown - Part 1

Sunday, February 17, 2013 12:23

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

As 2012 winds down, I hope it’s been a happy, healthy, and enlightening trip around the sun! This year has been personally rewarding for me as I saw my daughter married this past month as well as having my son get engaged at the wedding reception.

Photographically, the second half of the year was slow as wedding plans and my teaching demanded more of my time. I was not planning to post my annual countdown, as I did not feel I had shot enough to warrant a year-end retrospective. However, after sitting down and looking over my 2012 images, I have to say I am pleased with the results and have changed my mind.

The rankings of the Top 25 of 2012 came from a formula I created that takes into account the feedback received from Facebook, Twitter, and 550px.com as well as the traffic the image generated on my Blue Lion website. I hope you enjoy seeing a few familiar shots mixed in with some you might have missed in the past year.

Part 1 of the 2012 Countdown ( # 22- #25)

#25 – Pretty in Pink

#24 – Blue Bellied Roller

#23 – Steely Eyed Glare

#22 - Reflective Green Heron

Thanks for visiting and spending a few minutes here — Tomorrow I’ll post images 18 – 21 here! Hope to see you back! Feel free to share the 2012 countdown with you friends on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+!
