What is Give Me Your Best Shot? It is simply a fun way to share your favorite shot from the week. What has inspired you? Made you smile? What emotions, personalities, and details have you caught? It is not a photo contest or critique, but a way to look back on your week with a few friends.

Why? This week, I blogged about my journey as a photographer (here and here) and mentioned that two of the things that have pushed me and helped me progress the most during the last year have been 1) practice–simply taking more photos, and 2) looking at other people’s work. I’m always inspired when I see the ideas that other people have.

My hope is that this little exercise will stretch me a little. But I’m also enjoying the fact that it gives me the chance to look back on my week and assess what I’ve done.

When? I will be posting a new Give Me Your Best Shot (GMBS) every Friday. Feel free to add your picture any time. I encourage you to use a photo you’ve taken in the last week (it’s just part of the exercise!).

How? Enter your name into Mr. Linky, and then enter the URL of your favorite photo from the week. (ie–the address on the top of your page that links back to your photo, not your main blog page). You’re welcome to link to a photo that you have posted previously during the week–you don’t have to make a new post. A link back to me would be super (or you can post the handy button!)

What next? Enter a comment so I know you’ve stopped by (I don’t get notified when someone signs Mr Linky, and I don’t want to miss your shot!). After you’ve entered, go visit a few of the other people playing along.

Any questions? Send them my way! Now….go give me your best shot! Here’s my favorite:
