In keeping with tradition, it's time for me to start the annual thread showcasing everyone's favorite image of the year. Let's reflect back on the past year and have some fun while doing so. Post your favorite image taken in 2017. No critiques allowed, just "great shot" and "WOW".
Post as a reply to this thread, your ONE favorite image that YOU took this year. If there's a backstory then tell us about it and why it's your favorite.

Rachel, as a relative newbie, are images already posted fair game or are you and the other mods seeking something that hasn't been posted before on BPN?

Glenn - it can be an image you posted before or a new image. I posted mine in Wildlife earlier this year. Only restrictions are that it has to have been taken in 2017 and that you consider it your best and/or favorite.
Thanks for asking.

This is my favourite image from this year. A juvenile Red Grouse I captured on the 11th August. This is the day before the 'glorious twelve', the start of the grouse shooting season. I thought the single flower, although, OOF, in amongst the burned heather, gave this little guy a sign of hope, for what was about to happen. Thanks for looking.

I haven't been through my posts methodically but think this one is probably it: a Black-backed Jackal in late afternoon light in Etosha NP in Namibia, taken May 2017. Hope you enjoy and the best to everyone - moderators and members - for the festive season.
I hope that Grouse survived, Will.

Guess my favorite is this frame of a Sandhill Crane giving a shout out to all his buddies that his day was officially underway. Thanks BNP and members - it's been a fun first year together.

Breaching Humpback
Probably my favourite of 2017, this one, was one of a pair I followed for over two hours, trying not to interrupt, i could tell they were going to play. I was right, and both started breaching at same time. This is my" one " pick of 15 consecutive jumps. 8 by one 7 by the other. The white water in front was the previous jump. Taken a mile from my house. It never gets tired. As I always say, fire, puppies and whales never get boring! I picked this one because its the highest above the horizon. Canon 7d II , 100-400 Mark II @100 mm,1/400 sec, f5.6,iso 200.

great pic from the wale, wow !!
my greatest moments in 2017 with (i think) good results) was the time in early and late summer, because i was able to watch and observe two eagle owl nests, nearby.
one was in a small town (nesting in a church tower with 2 chicks ) and the other one in a little quarry with three chicks.
i have been many many times there, in august mostly every sunny afternoon and it was amazing to see the chicks growing.
so here is a picture from all three chicks together; shortly before the young owl become nearly adult (juvenile status) and had to go (fly) their own way.
the flying one has a prey (part from a rabbit with a little salad) in his claws
D500 with 200-500 VR at f 5.6 and ISO 1250 and 1/1250sec
