Photography, or more accurately art in general, is an extremely subjective field based on the whims and opinions of the viewer(s). I know that many of the “poor” photos I take are actually appreciated by many of my peers. The opposite can be said for some of my “great” photos –sometimes they do not get the response that I expect (or think they deserve). So for this PhotoPoll, I decided to put aside the opinions of others and ask you to do the same.

What do you consider your personal best photo? Why?
I’ve shared the photo that I believe to be my personal best in a previous post, but if I am answering this question honestly then I must share it again.
“Symmetrical Snake”
I am an amateur photographer so many of my photos are the result of sheer, dumb luck. This one is no different but I am still proud of it.
It is clear and in focus (which I struggle with frequently).
It is centered.
The timing was just right to get a symmetrical tongue.
I like the depth of focus and color.
To put it plainly, I think it is my personal best because it makes me happy every time I look at it.
Do you have a photo that simply makes your heart sing? Why do you consider it to be your best photo yet?
