Wow, it's so hard to pick out just one...

I agree! ;)
There are already so many wonderful shots posted here so far. I suspect this is going to be one "HOT" thread!. :)

One of my favorites. The Laughlin Strip.

I am in awe of the talent showcased here. Spectacular everyone.

Tough pick between my two passions, astrophotography and birds.

For degree of difficulty I chose this one first.

Fish Hooks

For degree of work involved this one:

Heart Nebula

I have been waiting to for the right moment to use this, and this is the right moment

Both shots are excellent

I agree. I have long admired Steve's (Nighthound) work, which is always first rate. He's also very helpful and free with advice. :)
I haven't checked, but I hope he did submit some of his work for the POTN book. ;)

Hard to pick, but this one from my first trip to Egypt is one of my favorites.

Hawkeye that has such an honest cultural message but still feels like a fantasy. Gorgeous photo.

Thats a nice shot, I especially like the dappled sunlight on the grass.

My favorite shot by myself is attached below. It took a lot of effort (patience and lying in the grass being eaten by clegs) to get the shot and I still enjoy looking at it (so much so I put it on my wall :))

These pictures are such a wonderful inspiration to me and to anyone even remotely interested in anything artistic! Bravo guys! I think they are all book worthy without exception.

It's a toss up between a few, but I think this one just edges past them. Took this as the NAS Jacksonville Air Show this year.

I love the colors of this one.... The morning of this sunrise was absolutely perfect for shooting and I was glad I woke up early.

Probably this one, I'm not really sure why but its a few years old and I still don't mind looking at it. And I'm one of those people who thinks their own work always sucks so it must not be that bad ><
