I'm not too good about taking family pictures, so I'm glad I got this picture of my dad this past August, before he passed away in January. Taken from "around the corner" in a large wall mirror as he stood in the kitchen.
Not necessarily a "great picture" but the one I'm happiest to have taken.

I didn't participate in this challenge nor did I vote. However, when I came upon this photo I was drawn in. It's not technically perfect but there is so much emotion and feeling in it that It doesn't matter. In a matter of a second this photo (at least for me) tells a story of a lifetime. This photo shows the human side of photography. It also says a lot to me that you chose this photo for your best of 2009, It tells me that he meant a lot to you and he will be missed....
Nice candid shot and maybe needs to be sharp on face - looks like movement. I understand the effect that one wants with the o.o.f. objects in the fore but this is a bit to much. Subject also very centrally placed
A nice picture of a man in his own element, but the background does distract and the centered composition also does not work for me. Furthermore, the post running behind his head also distracts things
