Favourite Photo of 2011


It's the 1st of January and as is traditional in the City Daily Photo community, it's the day to show our favourite photo of the year. There were several I considered, but what I love to photograph most are people and life, so here is little Winona, fluffing her mother's skirt at the wedding of her aunt in the medieval village of Gorbio.

Thank you to everyone for your loyalty, for comments, for private emails, for your support and encouragement - all of which mean so much to me.

Wishing us all a 2012 that brings peace and perhaps a little common sense to our world.

C'est le 1er Janvier et comme il est de tradition dans la communauté City Daily Photo, c'est le moment de montrer notre photo préférée de l'année. Il y en avait plusieurs mais comme ce que j'aime le plus photographier ce sont les gens et la vie, alors voici la petite Winona qui soulève la jupe de sa maman, au mariage de sa tante dans le village médiéval de Gorbio.

Merci à tous pour votre fidélité , pour vos commentaires, vos emails privés, pour votre soutien et vos encouragements - cela est tellement important pour moi.

Souhaitons à tous une année 2012 qui apporte la paix et peut-être un peu de bon sens au monde.

  16. Happy new year to you. This photo reminds me of your photo of little boys lifting up the back of the bride's dress. Perhaps it is more innocent than mischievious for a little girl to do so.

  25. What a precious moment you caught here. This is an image I won't soon forget. It works beautifully in monochrome and color but the pink dress just puts it over the top for me. I hope you capture many more wonderful images in 2012.

  26. I don't know which of your New Year's posts I should leave a comment on - they are both so good. So, why not both? This one is meltingly tender.

    PS: Carolyn says that anyone wearing heels like that on the cobblestones of Gorbio gets what they deserve.

  31. How perfect is this, for a great photograph anytime, anywhere as well as a theme choice for 2011? You post so many wonderful photo stories over the year, Jilly! Your theme image for the Monte Carlo site is exceptional too.
