This is the picture I like best out of the ones I've taken in the last year. Taken exactly as we came across him, a poor down-and-out wino teddy sleeping in a doorway in the West Village.
The above photo never made explore. The following is one that actually made it to like 28 in explore. It's one of my favorites of the year as well. For those with large monitors clicking on the image will take you to the large size edition.
eekacat, those are my favorites of yours this year. The bug one is great, mgl!
How do you know if you're photo is in explore? Do you get an email or something? Or is that what happens when you get hundreds of views instead of the normal ratio of your contacts and friends?
explore is kind of weird. They have some algorithm they use to figure it out, and it's always changing. To see if you have any, or had any in explore go here and type in your flickr name. It's more of a curiosity than anything else. I don't find for my own photos that it's the ones that I think are good, or ones that get lots of comments, but just seems pretty hit and miss for me.
Both taken while driving. The first was taken on my way home after dropping my dad off at BWI, as the sun was rising. The second, while I was driving to NY that same day to visit my college roommate.

My daughter putting up Christmas ornaments. Probably not the best of the year, but I was playing around with this one in ufraw tonight and I liked how it came out.
Wow - there's some great stuff here. I was feeling pretty good about some of my pictures until I started going through my Flickr to find some to post here and suddenly none of the seem bestish.
The best one that I could find in my collection was this one but it was actually taken by my wife. I can't recommend the Panasonic DMC-FX30 more, that little camera really makes great pictures easy.
Love that photo, octothorpe. There are some great photos in this thread. This is probably my favourite photo this year - well, there are some photos of my niece that are better, but my sister absolutely doesn't want them posted online. So:
