Tuesday's photo, our second selection from your "Resolution" contest entries, comes from Kris McParland of Nanaimo, B.C. "This year, I resolve to let my aspirations take flight," McParland writes.

"Pigeons are a hearty animal and if anything is going to weather the apparent economic hardships awaiting us in 2012, the lowly coo-ers are likely going to come out unscathed," Mitsui added. "In that regard, this might just be the perfect pic."

We'll be posting your best shots each day in January. At the end of the month, we'll select five finalists and ask you to vote for your favourite. The contest winner will receive a prize courtesy of the CBC Shop.
