It's the first day of a new year, a day when all City Daily Photo bloggers pick their favorite photo they posted from the previous year. When I started searching I came up with 19 photos on my list. I narrowed that down to 8 and then down to 4 and out of those 4, I picked this one from back in March as my favorite. It really was a miracle shot. This mandrill was moving all around and I had to shoot directly into the sun to catch him. I was so thrilled when I downloaded the photos and saw how well this one turned out.
