Hi Bill, all twelve images are certainly portfolio worthy. I especially like 1,3,5,10,11,12,13. And top three, 11, 12 and 13. I love those sunset beach scenes. Thanks for sharing.

I particularly love the lone bison on the beach image!

Wonderful set of images, Bill. I think my favorite of all is the Swirls at the Portland Japanese Gardens. Others that are close favorites are Garden of Gods sunrise, buffalo on the beach, and the sand/water abstract

Wow! You had a great year, Bill!! Better than mine, for sure.
Great variety, and you were blessed with some ideal conditions. You have a good eye for pleasing abstracts, too.

Thank you all for the kind words. I always find it fascinating that everyone has different preferences. That's why I enjoy this group so much...the diversity of opinions. Looking forward to seeing all of you at the shindig when it gets fired up.

A great year, especially with so few trips specifically for photography. I like the mixture of grand landscape and intimate scenes. Congratulations on finally making it to False Kiva, and surviving !

Great images, Bill! My favorites were the swirly leaves, the abstract Carlsbad Beach scene, False Kiva and the abstract Mt. Ranier reflection. Wishing you the best light and good fortune for 2014!

Very nice work Bill! Man you had some epic light there in California. I would have loved to have seen that. The image you posted above was my favorite!

You have a real creative eye for images, Bill. All are very interesting and capture great subjects. Swirls, in particular, is my fav. Great year for you!

Nice work, Bill. I particularly like the "Blue and Gold" image with the ripples. Congratulations on the False Kiva image, as well -- glad you made it down there with only a sprain!
