Best photograph of 2015

Looking back at 2015 it strikes me that even though there was a lot of development in the second half of the year (due to the Fotoacademie) my most interesting work, as far as I am concerned, was shot during the first. Do I need to worry? I think not. The Fotoacademie is making me better, more focused, more perfectionist, but this is also a process, a process that does not necessarily lead to better photographs right away.
For the “one best photograph of 2015” I had trouble making a definitive choice though. Candidates were the Wheeler (also known as Man with birds) photograph (er… lucky shot) from Bregenz:

The Take the plunge photograph from when I decided to start with the Fotoacademie:

But I think I like this double exposure best, so full of details, such happy colours and flooded with sunlight; also because it inspires me to create similar collages from other (new) material:

What do you think? Or do you like another photograph better?

  1. Heel fraai, die dubbelopname! Ik ben heel benieuwd naar de andere opnames uit deze serie (en de bijbehorende zwartwit opnames)!

  2. Wheeler is mijn favoriet! Begint meteen een soort film af te spelen in mijn hoofd bij het kijken naar dit plaatje! Thxxxx
