Default Invitation: Your Best of 2008

Television and magazines do "Best of . . . " features at the end of each year. Here's your chance to see DPS members' photos they believe represent their best efforts in photography for 2008. Post any number up to four that you feel show how much you've learned, or that you like the most, or that others have praised:

Wicked2

TheHat

SemiDew

Learning more about self-portraits, high-key shots, selective coloring, and
being more artistic with my camera.
