This is definitely my favorite photo of 2002. Best is subjective, so like it or don't :)
This photo was made with a Sony Cybershot DSC-F707... a really GREAT camera :) I no longer have this camera and I'm not going to add it back to my profile here just for the challenge, so the 20D camera model listed here is innacurate. The photo was made on September 7, 2002.

I think I have seen this image in a portfolio before. Absolutely classic! Wonderful DOF, perfect stop action, and outstanding BW/post-processing. Hope this does well! I'm a blues fan from Chicago myself, so this one touched a chord (bad pun intented). :-)
