nrb 'Empty Marina'

Tuna 'The Menu'
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73306

A classic straight-on American diner photo.

There are two outstanding pictures I would like to mention:

1. OurManinTangier - another north sea surfer

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73205http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73205

The first surfer - published on Sunday last week - was great. The second is as georgeous as the first. Simon got the right moment, a perfect picture

2. Telenous - strangers

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73301&cat=all&limit=last7

This is another example of Alkis´outstanding work "on the dark side" of the streets.

TimSki 'Venice barges'

and Caneletto's version: 'Rio dei Mendicanti: Looking South'
http://www.abcgallery.com/C/canaletto/canaletto1.html

Masterful use of composition, color, and light. And the old painting's not too bad either.

sostler 'Cologne Main-Station'

What a great photo that captures the time of day, the weather, and so on.

[OurManInTangier]

I've been remiss and not posted in this thread for a while. I've neglected to add to my favourites again so I checked my recent comments for what has caught my eye.

FORMAL with his excellent shot "LEGS" - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73465&cat=fav

TELENOUS with such melancholy in "BROKEN FLOWERS" - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=72996&cat=fav

MLEHRMAN and the stunning landscape "JOANNA & HER DAD, UPSTATE NY" - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73324&cat=fav

TUNA with the amusing "DOG ON WALL" - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73196&cat=fav

and FORMAL again with another cracker "CARD PLAYER" - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73187&cat=fav

Good stuff as always...and as always, I'm sure I've missed some more good images.

EDIT: Thank you very much for a double mention Thomas!

That made me chuckle - thank you, Jon!

It's been so long since I've seen a good rainy night that this looks inviting.

A nice portrait, gritty and grainy like a man's portrait should be.

Very lovely study of atmospheric perspective. I love the pastel pallet.

Tuna untitled
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73172

There's a great symmetry there, the bicycles are not mirror images but very similar. Even down to the spash of yellow color on each one.
