Can you see the berried sunset?
HAPPY NEW YEAR
I really have so many excellent photos, well I am a photographer so I should have, that to single out one of another really is fair. I simply chose the image that was taken purely by chance one evening when photographing an autumn sunset over my favourite part of Ramsey, The Poyll Dooey Nature Reserve. It uses photographers rule of thirds which covers the technical bit and is overflowing with natural colour as mother nature intended, and needing no cropping, no alterations whatsoever. It is also the image that has one of the highest amount of comments and the one I get emailed about the most and is definitely your favourite out there in blogland. Therefore I bowed to readers, followers, passers by wishes and chosen your best image choice.
I am posting early as laptop time is limited and celebrations will ensue later and well I will not be capable by then once the drinkies kick in.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
TO ALL!

Choosing a photo is always tough, and as you say there are many to choose from. In London, I always end up choosing pics based on content rather than quality, so IoM is always a refreshing place to visit (in virtuality). Happy New Year from London
Well, it is gorgeous and brings out warm, fuzzy feelings :)
Happy theme day! Wishing you all the best for 2009, Babooshka. May you be blessed with peace, prosperity, health, happiness and love.
Babooshka, thanks for all the pictures and the words :) - they've been among the highlights of 2008 for me!
Here's wishing the very best of 2009 for all your dear ones and to you!
Happy New Year!
What a beautiful Sunset..
I do hope we have a holiday on the I.O.M. this year...love it there...
I always speak to the Fairys...lol
have a good year...
Babooshka, this is one of my favorites. I love it for all the reasons you mention -- but also because it captures a moment that is usually so fleeting when we experience in real life. You froze a magic instant here.
Here's hoping your new year is filled with more great shots -- and with peace, prosperity, happiness and abundant love.
Superb! I love the way the sunset echos the berries. The night colours are marvellous.
Wishing you both a very Happy New Year, Babooshka and massive offers of work for the talented Gary.
Only the best from you. Wishing you both all the best for 2009
Sometimes the best things are unexpected. Wishing you all the best in 2009. Happy New Year! BJ
It's a beauty! Happy New Year!
What a great shot! I love it!Happy New Year and I wish you the best!

Happy New Year, Babs. May I call you Babs?? :-)
What a great capture. I love how the berries stand out. Good choice for `best of`.
Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year Babooshka! I hope 2009 is good to you and Gary.
This is a great choice for the theme and I too love all the natural colours and light.
I remember this one. It's so cool! Happy New Year!
Oh excellent...just love this photo...le top des tops.
Hope you had a blast at year's end and that 2009 will prove happy, healthy and full of success for you and Gary..
Your choice is nothing less than what I've come to expect and enjoy at Ramsey Daily Photo. Thank you!

Have a very Berry New Year! :-)
Great job on the photo. This is definitely one of the best examples of "good use" of the flash.
This is a great shot. Thank you for all of your comments, pointers, advice and of course great pictures. Happy New Year.
"Louis" et Mme la Vache wish you all the BERRY best this New Year!
(Editor to "Louis:" Good Grief - MUST you start the New Year off with a groaner?
"Louis" to Editor: If I had hands rather than hooves, I would give you an obscene hand gesture and tell you to 'groan this.')
It is indeed a wonderful photo!
Happy New Year!
Berry Best Wishes for 2009.

This is one of my favorite of yours too!!
I wish you and Gary a very Happy New Year on that beautiful island of yours.
Can't wait to see the next bridge picture!!!
Happy New Year! Hope it's the best yet. Looking forward to enjoying, and learning from, all your photo's yet to come.
Happy New year! Berry pretty! :-D
I love our snow, but it is cold of course, and dangerous to drive in sometimes.
My God! 82 comments before mine...what do I have to do to get to the head of the line?!
I suppose everything that can be said technically has already been said, so I'll just tell you that I like it!
May 2009 be a good year for you!
Love the rich colors of your choice for "best of," Babooshka. And wishing you the best of health and happiness in 2009. Keep snapping these lovely ones!
