Gallery picks for the week ending 10th January 2011

Still haven't worked out how to post full size pictures

Easiest way I know to do it is to bring up the photo & right click on it. Then left click copy, come here & paste it in. I open another tab to get my favs for the week from the gallery. That way I can go back & forth without closing anything out. Might be an easier way of doing it. I just haven't figured it out yet!

This shows wonderful structural composition.

what a week. some terrifically good work as always, but more of it than in some weeks. perhaps the snow in so many places is stimulating great creativity or at least providing some nice high-contrast lighting challenges.

Great light on her eyes. The overexposure everywhere else works very nicely here.

the title, "A Bit on the Dark" has just enough double-entendre to it to make me wonder whether it's merely a comment on the lighting and exposure or to imagine that something nefarious is going in this very noirish scene.

such beautiful shapes, tones and textures that, from the thumbnail image, I wasn't quite what I was looking at but felt utterly compelled to look at the bigger image.

Thanks Steve for the mention!

this is one of those images that sparks a sense of recollection -- dim a memory almost -- that I can't pin down. anyway, I like the picture, but can't explain why.

looks like a dream. is this a reflection or a double exposure. it makes me think of editing in the films of Eisenstein.

beramos,
in the summer, I sometimes enjoy swimming in the dark as it more peaceful and solitary than swimming during daylight. it kind of evokes a sense of the primordial and puts me into kind of dream-like trance where I seem to have (temporarily) unending endurance. this image brings me to that state of mind instantly. you moved me. good work to do that.

the hazy light and the leaves of the fern make these seem as if it were some prehistorical tropical forest (which it probably is, right?), as yet unspoiled by man (not likely, right?). nice mood here, Keith.

finding the beauty in this metal fixture, Semrich makes me think of some of Irving Penn's still lifes. nice work.

nothing to say about this one that hasn't already been said. wow.

ricnak,
apart from not knowing at whom the message on her bottom is directed, I love this image. makes me want to jump in.
