Enough pessimism -- how about something completely different

[rs54263]

Since y'all seem to have so much time on your hands, perhaps I might
impose on you for a few minutes to help resolve an issue a little
closer to home? (Though admittedly not as important as solving the
world's problems...)

It's that time of year again, and I need your help!

I'd like to submit my work again for this year's Bettina Gray
photography award (USHGA);??first, I'll need a volunteer to write a
nomination letter on my behalf. ?Second, I need to pick the 3 best
pictures from this year. ?Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough to get
any stand-out photos this year, so the best I've been able to do so far
is to weed it down to a mere 28 images. ?I'd like your feedback on
which of those *you* think are "the best of the best". ?(This will also
help me later when I have to select pictures for the calendar.) ?I
really appreciate any thoughts or comments that you can provide here.

My favorites of the year are at:

Thanks,
