Probably not my best photo, but for me the most important one of this year... i sometimes feel this was the moment I`ve been waiting for in my entire life.

My wish for 2011 is to continue to find reality in this world of illusions.

See other Best of 2010

To me it is simply gorgeous! I've seen many of your underwater shots and they are the best I've ever seen! thanks you so much for joining our project :) onlyricky · 2010-12-17: 16:48

beautiful ! photodeclair · 2010-12-17: 17:27

just a couples of word.... The best of 2010:) extralarge · 2010-12-17: 17:33

I think THE BEST for all of us in life should be chosen based on feelings not on rationale... including in photography ... as it was successful applied in choosing your photo :) Maybe we should have named "MY ESSENCE" this project instead of "MY BEST "... That's what I see in your picture. You put everything you have and everything that's precious to you in this pic. And it also represents your wish for the future,...because it IS the future. I'm so, SOOO glad you're back ( I hope that only being too busy kept you away). I was really surprised to see you participating, I thought you maybe weren't interested. redro · 2010-12-17: 18:03

Cool, I really like it! geyabesse · 2010-12-17: 18:07

Fantastic shot!!!!! ????? · 2010-12-17: 18:48

I can well imagine that this was quite a moment for you, Monika! Was he as excited as you were?? DancingDolphin · 2010-12-17: 22:37

That's why we take photos, to have memories to cherish. Great shot. JustGarden · 2010-12-18: 01:00

Yes you have reason, is a good shot but not the best. I have four propositions for you: http://www.photoblog.com/longimanus/2010/02/07/a-memoir-of-the-senses.html http://www.photoblog.com/longimanus/2010/08/25/high-grass-2.htm http://www.photoblog.com/longimanus/2010/10/09/the-grooms-sister.html http://www.photoblog.com/longimanus/2010/08/25/high-grass-2.htmll Naturally it is my opinion and certainly, you are totally free not to agree, but honestly I believe, that in these four you are your. You must never forget yourself. Because your son will grow, with your help certainly, and this will take only other ten years. When you will give him a cam? ASINUS · 2010-12-18: 17:42

so so fun!!! i bet it was a GREAT moment to share & is great for you to share with us!! joannelydia · 2010-12-18: 21:31

Great choice... I know this was special for you. davids · 2010-12-19: 08:34

This is a fantastic choice! It certainly was one of those anticipated moments in your life that brought you joy....along with the thousands of other moments of joy that Jamie has brought to you. Hope you are well. Miss you. :) livelovelaugh · 2010-12-19: 22:45

Oh Monika, this goes straight to my favourites. This photo is so WONDERFUL and it's so full of PEACE and SERENITY... I've always admire your work, you are always INSPIRING and a model to follow. And I want to thank you for all your photos and for taking part in this project. ????? · 2010-12-20: 12:34

Very cool shot! darfoster · 2010-12-20: 22:47

gret choice Monika. i remember that post. "the best" is in our heart and soul, not in the technique ;-) that's a reality among illusions of perfection ;-) ????? · 2010-12-21: 16:39

I can't argue.... Your best was bound to feature Jamie and the ocean :-)) ????? · 2010-12-22: 21:13

wonderful! Shaparak · 2010-12-24: 21:59

i wish you and your loving family a healthy, bright, joyful, happy, inpired, loving new year :)) ????? · 2011-01-05: 10:36

Fantastic one! Your photos make me miss diving so much... I love the light of your picture of december 24th, I write my comment here because I couldn't do it on the page of that day ;) Happy New Year! alga365 · 2011-01-11: 03:45
