Lets have some fun MM. What do think is the best shot on MM and why???? Remember folks, beauty is in the eye of the

beholder. So, please no bad mouthing or you must need glasses. I will start.

I love the contrast in lighting, model in flawless, skin is little over done, but one of my favorites.

I haven't seen even a fraction of the Millions of photos on MM to make such a judgment call... there are thousands of images I have seriously liked..., so, as a party pooper... I pass (gas?)... smile

However... if my life would depend on that, I'd chose this photo!!

I don't know who shot this. but it blows away any photo of any of the top photographers on this site!!!

The concept of a beautiful girl in front of a fast car hasn't be done before... EVER... so, this rocks my aperture... in ways you'd never imagine!

Perfection!     borat

I don't know if this goes against the rules or not?   Is this a critique?   A contest?  Up for debate?  Opinions?  hmm

If you were going to just pass, you didn't need to make a smart ass remark. Thanks for being professional

By the way, that shot you think is a joke, was made into 20,000 posters for SEMA and for John Force Holiday show (which he loved the shot) I'll have to make that mistake again

I'll play. A model here has spectacular credits and here's a simple beauty photo from Elle Beauty, I think Russia, but here: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/35810786

Why. She is gorgeous and her expression stuns.

Naturally I haven't see all the image present inside MM but I listed some that I looked that I think are good:
fine art shoot
And at the moment I can't specify only one of them as the best.

Probably this.  I had nothing to do with creating it, sadly.

First... where is your sense of humor?

Are you taking yourself a little bit too serious, John?

I didn't see that photo as a joke at all... I just picked randomly a photo from your port to answer your question for the single best photo on MM, because it is impossible.

Congratulations on the posters sold, but I think that posters and calendars sold doesn't mean much to proof quality. I say that because I am being constantly surprised by the amount of calendars a friend of mine sells every year with some really cheaply shot calendars of girls with knives, or fishing rods or guns or cars. He doesn't know anything about photography, lighting etc., and shoots basically automatic in a point and shoot style... and the models are below the average girl next door look and the photos are actually flat, I mean... really flat... still, every year he sells between 20 - 40,000 of those via Amazon.

He's a stockbroker who is basically a hobbyist who makes a very nice side income with those kind of calendars.
