Mavericks Surf photo 2010 by Jim M. Goldstein - JMG-Galleries.com

This year we had an amazing turn out for the Best Photos of 2010 blog project with 160 entries, topping the results for best photos of 2009, best photos of 2008 and best photos of 2007! Participants spanned a spectrum of skill levels from hobbyists to professionals and covered a wide variety of genres including landscape, macro, nature, photojournalism, portraiture, event, wildlife, fine art photography and more. There are likely many names you’ll recognize below and many others you won’t. I highly recommend visiting each entry as I have. Even after 4 years of running this blog project I’m blown away by the talent of those that take part. It is truly inspirational to see so much creativity and beauty. If your curious to see photos I particularly enjoyed look out for the entries with *** next to them.

Special Thanks: Win A $50 Gift BorrowLenses Certificate
This year to say thanks to all those who participated I’ve lined up something special with Borrowlenses.com who is making available (5) five $50 gift certificates to be given away. There are 3 ways to enter with a maximum of 3 entries:

  1. Post this years results, found below the section break, on your blog. Once you’ve done so add a quick comment here with a link to your post.
  2. a) Go to the BorrowLenses.com fan page, become a fan (like them).
    b) Share the results on Facebook by updating your status as follows:
    “Best Photos of 2010 by @JMG-Galleries Blog Reader’s http://now-go.to/gjvcAE – 160+ links of great photos via @jimgoldstein and @borrowlenses.“
  3. Share the results on Twitter with the following tweet sans quotes “Best Photos of 2010 by JMG-Galleires Blog Reader’s http://now-go.to/gjvcAE – 160 links of great photos #JMGblog2010 via @jimgoldstein“

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.
