As I work toward selecting my favorite 2025 photographs, I have eliminated half of the candidates in my previous post. Now to eliminate 2/3 to 3/4 of those that are left!

2025 Favorites — Yes, I'm working on it!
It is a tradition among photographers to to share a set of annual "favorite" (the term I prefer to "best") photographs. I'm starting with a large set... and beginning the difficult job of winnowing them down to a dozen or so.
Have a fave? Let me know!
