2007 Pictures of the Year



It's that time ...


This week, I am publishing the Pictures of the Year 2007: People's Choice photo gallery in place of our regular Pictures of the Week gallery. The images that appear in this gallery were the most popular month by month, based on the poll results, as voted on by you, our weekly "Pictures of the Week" photo lover.
 
In reviewing this year's worth of Pictures of the Week poll results, certain trends become obvious. Based on the top vote getters, it appears that our audience is made up of animal loving, military families with an interest in astronomy -- since the most popular images are consistently related to animals and nature, our military, and space. Or maybe it's just people who recognize great photography -- photos that capture a defining moment or convey emotion or a sense of awe.
 
Please take a look at the final 12 images of the year in our Pictures of the Year 2007: People's Choice gallery, but don't overlook the other pictures of the year selections that we've put together. We also have a Pictures of the Year 2007: Editors' Choice, a sports entry, Sports Pictures of the Year 2007: Did You See That, as well as a wonderful selection of nature photography in our Nature's Best 2007 Award Winners photo gallery. Lots of links and lots of photos to check out. I hope you enjoy the galleries we've put together. Which is your favorite photo gallery? Which are your favorite images? Let us know. And don't forget to join me again in January 2008 when Pictures of the Week returns.

Great pics, but I would expect there to be a qarning if some of the pictures contain images not for young children. My son saw two that I would not have wanted him to see. Great for right before bedtime on Christmas. Please give a warning to parents next time.
Thank you.

Are you out of your @#ing minds? The unfortunate people in the photos have familys.... It's Christmas! The only people who deserve the things I saw in those pictures are the ones who posted them....... for entertainment?

Interesting that both the editor's choice and people's choice polls feature cute animal photos as #1 followed by the #2 choice of heart-wrenching photos of the results of the war in Iraq.
