Best Photos of 2009 by JMG-Galleries Blog Reader’s

By the look of this years submissions 2009 was a stellar year for many of the photographers who read the JMG-Galleries blog. The amount of participation in this years Best Photos of 2009 blog project was amazing… up over 30% from last year to 124 participants. Thanks to everyone who took part this year and for those that did not I’m hopeful you’ll take part next year.

Photographers taking part in this years Best Photos of 2009 blog project covered a wide variety of genres including landscape, macro, nature, photojournalism, portraiture, wildlife and more. In addition participating photographers ran the gamut of skill level from enthusiasts to professionals. As you scan the list below you’ll likely recognize some familiar names. Whether you recognize the photographers by name or not  be sure to visit as many submissions as possible. There’s a lot of great talent, known and unknown, out there and you’re likely to find some real gems as you explore.

Also be sure to take part in submitting and reviewing  photographs through out the year in the JMG-Galleries Flickr group and feel free to introduce yourself there.
