Happy New Year Everyone!
It’s that time of year for lists but with this one, I am asking for your vote in selecting my Top 10 Images of 2017.
In appreciation for your time, if your 10 selections most closely match the final top 10 from the voting, I will send you a free a print of your favorite image!
I’ve posted 32 of my best photographs from 2017 below, in chronological order. Please look through these and list the numbers (they are below each image) of your ten favorites in the comment box at the bottom of the post.
After the voting is done I’ll post the top ten on this blog, and submit the final group to Jim Goldstein’s blog project, where he’ll be showcasing the best images of the year from over 300 photographers. The voting deadline is this Wednesday, January 3rd, at 6pm Central time.
Enjoy viewing these images, and thanks for your input — I really appreciate your help!
