Happy New Year Featuring Best Photo of The Year


My favorite photo this year was the "Pink Perfection" camellia that I posted on November 9, 2007. The photo was posted just as it was shot by my Canon Powershot SD750 on November 5th, 2007 at 4:26 PM. There were no enhancements by any graphics software program except to reduce the image size for posting. Barbara Smith

  18. Great photo! I remember seeing it before and was impressed at how large and beautiful it is. I like camellias because they look like roses, but I think they are heartier. Best wishes for 2008!
