Gallery Picks is an opportunity for you to post a heads up to what you have seen during the past seven days at RFF that you like.
There's no membership requirement, no criteria (except past seven days), no voting, no limit to the number of photos mentioned, and everybody mentioned is a winner.
Anybody can start the thread on a Monday.
Anybody can join in, it's a community event!
Here's my picks:
Martini, This has everything, composition, rich colors, and dark brooding sky, I really like this.
2 from lynnb:
Lots of dark tones, silhouettes and shadows on a cloudy moonlit night.
It takes a keen eye and fast focusing and composing for a shot like this, well done.
enlo, from this it's easy to see how Buckminster “Bucky” Fuller got the idea for the geodesic dome. A beautiful photo of something that is a lawn owners worst nightmare.
rogerzilla, I just love the light that Summar caught streaming in through the mist onto the ground frost.
Steveh, yep, the lady and her shadow is why I picked this one, truly the icing on the cake.

Thanks Richard!
rogerzilla - the day after the birth. My pick of the week. Beautiful image. Eyes, expression, light, framing, DOF... wonderful.
Cow Parsley - another delightful shot from rogerzilla, taken with an M3 and Elmarit 90/2.8
porktaco - onefest1. it captures that timeless feel of childhood. Also it draws my eye in a circle, from the running boy to right b/g to left b/g and back again
Luigi - analogon... I prefer this film version of an earlier digital capture. It shows the lines in the landscape as well as the contrast between the standing and felled trees, and provides a more informed, powerful statement.
SteveH - Mirror. It's the girl and her shadow that really make this image stand out
Luigi - The Night has a Thousand Eyes. Luigi's ongoing series of night shots in villages just keeps on giving me reasons to admire his keen eye for light, shadow and composition
Keith - Light** The soft light, pleasing bokeh and mood in this one caught my imagination
Tony Pio - Bride on cellphone. The image this conjures up - with the groom and bridal party all waiting while the bride takes a cellphone call during her wedding event - is priceless. Bod composition and nice light, too.
Harrejesus - Jacket and Pillow. Graphically strong, the matching coat stand is slightly surreal, I like the processing - the image has a lot of bite
siracusa - Paris Catacombs. reminders of mortality always make for powerful imagery
Robklurfield - Relocated Ruins Revisited No. 3. Atmosphere in *****s.
Martini - Untitled. Amazing skyscape with a 4-stitch pano

The seated men all lined up, apparently at the beach, is a nice moment caught.
Another excellent partial abstract by Lynn

This has wonderful light quality and I like the pattern of the buildings. Nicely framed.
ChEc
Line perspectives like this often attract the eye. I am always fascinated by the lines and texture of rail tracks. Nice dark tones here.
Another one from Chris and this is my overall first pick of the week.
This is just gorgeous. A beautiful abstract with wonderful gray tones nicely framed.
Harrejesus
Just a delightful shot.
tigerphil
This is another one of Phil's fabulous abstracted shots.
paulfish4570
Something of mystery or something from deep memory comes to mind.
Martini
Beautiful sky and clouds.
robklurfield
What a great subject! Beautiful photograph well framed. Excellent choice of viewpoint. The fog created a perfect background and wonderful light on these pillars.
Martini
Another excellent shot from Martini. Great opposing colors that really stand out. I like the sign shape and the grass texture. Nicely composed.
There are so many other fabulous photographs that I deserve to be picked this week but I just had to stop someplace. Sorry, I know I have missed some very important ones. Jim

Thank you to jcrutcher and Barnwulf as well. And thank you to all for creating these threads, posting your wonderful images and taking the time to compliment others. Very supportive bunch, but equally important...talented bunch.
I hope this isnt too dumb of a question, but how are you posting images from the gallery? Do you download them first, upload to a site then paste in the BBCode. or are you just taking the gallery link and posting it directly. I havent tried either way, just looking for the fastest way.
Thanks
