Wow, it would be such a hard choice for me to say. There was so many wonderful pieces of art this year, and I think the gallery gets better and better with each year as new techniques and technologies become available to us. I have lots of favorites for the year, but in different categories. I agree with Siege by Flak being the most incredible image I've seen in terms of sheer action and complexity. I read the making of and I am still amazed at how one could do that. Two artists really shined this year for me, and that is j-art and qmont, but again there was so many that I couldn't mention them all here... As for my gallery, another hard choice. I am really honored to see leather-guy pick Adventurer's Club. It is definitely one of my favorites as well, but Orca Fantasies: A Father's Joy holds a special place in my heart this year. ShadowWind
