9 Almost Favorite Photos of 2017

GREAT expression and joie de vive BUT drab colors and no 'punch'

2017 has less than 10 days left to live.  It is time for the end of year lists, and the one I always do on this blog is my favorite 12 photos of the year.  Last year I had no problem editing my photos down to 12 of my favorites, but this year I found I got to 21 and could not cut it down further.  So I decided to break it down into my favorites and almost favorites.  Any of the almost favorites could make the favorites depending on my daily mood.

So here are the almost favorites.  The Honorable Mention photos so to speak.  The favorite photos are to follow tomorrow or the next day.  Check the captions for why I decided not to make a particular photo a part of the final 12.  And let me know what you think of my choices - after you see the final 12 of course.  Patrick

I used to love this one, but I wish I could see the weeds in the water better and the point to the left annoys me

I REALLY do like this one but it just seems a little cliche

Boys being boys - awesome capture.  But still blah colors and no 'punch'

I REALLY like this one, but also took it recently and it really has not settled in yet.  It also needs to be looked at closely to get the oomph

Cliche - and it is my old point-and-shoot and now I can see the flaws

It is Oystercatcher eggs in a nest made of rocks and shells, and that is what makes it a good photo - not the composition

Another Favorite from early in the summer - it's just that my new camera would do so much better of a job with the colors and grain
