WordPress now has this poll feature, and I have yet to put it to good use. But last night while I was brushing my teeth, I had an idear. Maybe I should do a year in review (“God Kevin, enough with the nostalgia!”) and have my readers vote on what made the best shot of the year.
So, after a bit of editing and selecting, I have five categories: Travel, Portraits, People in Places, Landscape and Nature, and Food. The top vote-getter in each category will be placed in a final round, no-holds barred, pixel-on-pixel smack down sometime around New Year.
Since we’re pretty much done traveling for the year, we’ll begin with the Travel category. Scroll down, and place your vote for which one you think is best. As always, you can click on the photo to see it larger.
#1. Il Campo and Torre Mangia at dusk, Siena (Tuscany), Italy.
#2. Tractor in front of Kate’s Seafood, Brewster (Cape Cod), Massachusetts.
#3. Acquarossa trulli at night with star trails, Casalini (Puglia), Italy.
#4. Manor overhanging harbor with thunderstorm, Sorrento (Campania), Italy.
#5. Sangiovese vines at dawn, Chianti (Tuscany), Italy.
#6. Space Needle and carnival ride, Seattle, Washington.
#7. Santa Maria Assunta and Galli Islands at dusk, Positano (Campania), Italy.
And now, the voting machine.
