As we come to the end of 2011, we thought of reflecting on the past year and each of us post one of our favorite OOTB image! From OOTB forum - Denise, Kerry and I would like to thank all of you for making this forum a creative experience and a fun place! Thank you!! Happy New Year and all the best for 2012!
This year I had great time photographing in SW Florida and in Homer, AK. Although, I had many favorite images, the one that tops the list was this Burrowing Owl zoom-blur taken at Cape Coral, FL in February.
great image. zoom blur....something for me to work on this year. Happy New Year!
Happy new year! The zoom to those eyes is amazing, Indranil!
Indranil, I loved that zoom blur the minute I saw it!
Here is my fave from the past year!
It doesn't seem like a year since we last shared our favorites. But time has come as Indranil notes.
Like all, I feel that this was a great year for OOTB forum. A lot of friendships and knowledge have been shared here. I look forward to the coming year and the images to be viewed.
I also had a hard time deciding the image to post, as I have gotten more knowledgable of the post processing options and thus created some images that I remember, thanks to those here who critique for our benefit and learning. But given the meaning of this one, I felt it was appropriate as well as one of my personal favorites. It represents the "End of a Era" in America's history that we all lived. It symbolizes the final three launches of Atlantis, Discovery and Endevor, of which I was very moved and fortunate to view at the Cape.
So we can all say, thanks for the memories.
One suggestion I would have to Denise, Indranil and Kerry, is to move this post to the sticky area, if possible, so it doesn't end up moving to the bottom of the page as the days go on. Too good to loose! :w3
Nice images and applications, Indranil and Denise.
There are many more coming, as others posts their favorites. Should be fun ... again! :c3:
I tell everyone I can how wonderful and supportive you participants in this OOTB forum are! Here's looking forward to a great 2012!
One of my favs is the composites of smoke images. This one shows a few of the parts and beginning composites...
Denise, When I first saw this tree, I thought, great shot and angle, but then I scrolled down and spied that one leaf....over the top.
I had forgotten how fun it was to see everyone's favorite images for the year. Here's mine - for two reasons - I liked the fract effect and mood and also because it was a day of incredible bird activity at a local lake and I was fortunate to be there.:S3:
Mark, You had so many good ones this year! Happy New Years!:S3:
Steve, I remember that one and I love it! Great creativity as always! Happy New Year!:S3:
Cheryl, I remember that image too. I love the Fract. effect that you applied. Happy New Year!:S3:
As I looked back over the year, one photo stood out to me, at least in terms of time spent in PP:S3:. I just plain like the mood of the image, and it brings back some nice memories of the trip to the Smoky's.
Jay, One of my faves of yours too.:S3: The touches of red make this one sing!
Love seeing everyone's favorites from the past year! :S3: For me, this image definitely stood out as being my best of 2011.
No kidding, Christopher. I agree this was a standout for the year.........and a benchmark for "God rays".:S3:
Christopher, One of your best!!:S3:
Hello all! I'm picking this one as my personal favorite from 2011. Constructed from a couple of captures made at the beach. Happy new year to all!
Love it to pieces Kerry!:S3:
I had so much fun this year, enjoying and learning from all the creative & artistic images posted here at OOTB. A lot of favorites, including this one:
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to my friends here on OOTB!
I like this image from 2011, because it was the point where the work with paint began to look more like sculpture than blobs of flying paint. :bg3:
Jay;
Yours is far and away my favourite so far. Wish these posts were separete so we could answer directly.
Love every one that has been submitted, Denise's leaf A1
Keep smiling
Gus
Brendan, I remember that one-it's a fantastic capture that you filtered perfectly!
Maureen, I don't think anyone will forget your incredible paint dances!!
This may not be my best but it is my favourite, this bird sat in front of me for and hour, giving me great opportunities.
This was on of my favourites, the original is tack sharp, I ran it through Fotosketcher to create this watercolor.
The images you've all uploaded are great....yes I did say "great".
Paul, I love it! The pose and the watercolor come together nicely!
My favorite from last year. This is from my visit to India and I loved India. Plus I really like the mood of this image.
I've having a great time viewing these images. Some I remember and some I missed and so I'm thrilled to see them now! Everyone is most talented and creative!
WOW! Great to see all these wonderful images again. Love 'em all!!!
This is one of my most favorite images of last year...only about 3-4 more months until they start singing again.

Andrew, Your frogs are just incredible! Love this one!!
What fun! I'm enjoying seeing everyone's favorites. :-) Here's mine.
Thanks for the memories... This is a great tradition and well represented so far by those who have posted here. OOTB is just that, let the juices fly and see what happens.
Until next year! :w3
Anita, I remember that one, it's one of my faves of yours!!:S3:
This is one of my all time favorites!
I love all of them, especially Kerry's! Nice work everyone! I have enjoyed all of your images throughout the year.
Beautiful Judy, I thought for sure we were going to see one of your leaf compositions here.:S3:
Thanks Denise! The leaves were a close second!
