The best picture
ever? Well, just about anything by Ansel Adams has to be in contention, but...
I'd say the winner would be the well-known black&white
Life Magazine shot of villagers fleeing a napalm attack in the Vietnam War era, with a naked girl screaming in agony center-shot. Lots of images start discussions, but that one did more to end the war than all the Stentorian windage of the time put together. I'm thinking it won a Pullet Surprise; if that's wrong, it's a good argument for ignoring such awards.
What? That's not the kind of pix you mean??
Nekkid Wimmin, you say?!?
(Mebbe nextime yule be more specific, eh?)Idunno... Y'all must have some really minor collections here. I can't pick which one shot is the best, because I have a hundred thousand to choose amongst. Not the archives, mind you; these are all live on a drive. I can't even say I prefer a single model over all others. Hell, I start laffing each time I see another "Top Ten" thread come by. I have over 150 folders for individual models, not counting subcategories like "Brits," "Oldies," or "AfrAms." There are six thousand pix in my "Unident" folder, none of whom I recognize. Where would I start to winnow??

Perhaps I should nominate the wallpaper I use?
(As opposed to the hundreds of great ones I have stored...) Well... Can't really do that either, 'cuz I chose it as being the most risque G-rated shot I had. Makes a great prude test: if a visitor objects to it, they must have a dirty mind. Just so ya see what i mean:

So I guess I'll have to leave it at this: my favorite image is usually the one I just finished working on.
