Here are some shots that grabbed my eye this week -- and certainly not the only ones! In no particular order:

Patrick: Man tying his shoelaces - great candid street shot
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6942/sort/1/cat/last7/page/1

schaubild: Winter 3 - brilliant winter scene

taffer: Shower anyone? - love the composition and lighting

Here it is, incredible the amount of great work that is entering the gallery !

Great week from Denis, specially like this one
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/7003/sort/1/cat/last14/page/4

Sometimes things just strike you, that happened with this outworld flare from Roberto !
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/7001/sort/1/cat/last14/page/4

The daily reality from sockeyed
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/7008/sort/1/cat/last14/page/4

Bikes have many numbers to be the most photographed object, like this one from Todd ;) Specially like how it makes me think
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6971/sort/1/cat/last14/page/5

Or like these ones from Matu on his excellent Leitz series, they seem to be loaded with memories !
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6968/sort/1/cat/last14/page/5

The 'unusual' smile from Designer just makes me go back again and again !
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6829/sort/1/cat/last14/page/5

Love how this picture from ABarGrill looks like old memories...
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6958/sort/2/cat/last14/page/6

Subway pictures are a favorite of mine, and this one from alx is not an exception...
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6954/sort/2/cat/last14/page/6

Love the way Brian captured the expression here, some snow action !
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6943/sort/2/cat/last14/page/6

Manolo told us, mind the gap ! Don't forget to check details on this one...
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6879/sort/2/cat/last14/page/8

Another masterpiece from graksi...
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6867/sort/2/cat/last14/page/9

Bill Blanchard's kiss, well, his models' :)
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6861/sort/2/cat/last14/page/9

Thanks Gene, for remind me how I see things when I hold my breath for more than 2 minutes :p
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6856/sort/2/cat/last14/page/9

Love the drama in Kuvvy's stormcloud

And many many more ! So remember to check the gallery !!! :)
 
I'm hoping this is a regularly occurring thread. I'm collecting for this week already.

I agree with the poster, a masterpiece, and the title is perfect, Salad Bar. Way to go, Gene.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6834/sort/1/cat/fav/page/2

And of course this one, Cold and Hot from Graksi. What hasn't been said?
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6867/sort/1/size/medium/cat/fav/page/2

This one, Cone of Tragedy, from Skorj blew me away as well
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6837/sort/1/cat/fav/page/2

One more, Boat, from Gene. So beautifully lonely and, at the same time, resigningly futile.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6811/sort/1/size/medium/cat/fav/page/2

Sometimes you can't explain the attraction of an image. I guess I'm a sucker for structural photography. This one, Bright Concrete, from Swann is strangely magnetic:
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6872/sort/1/cat/fav/page/2

This series is very nice. The red motif stitched it all together. Other images from the series have already been noted, so here is a different one from Jochan, A Traditional Grocery Shop Front:
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6990/sort/1/size/medium/cat/500/page/1

I feel bad because I jumped into this thread late and unprepared, so I know I'm missing other images that I didn't save as favorites, or comment on. But I wanted to post in the hope of showing my encouragement for this thread. I'm being diligent this week.

Ray, thanks for joining in! This weekly thread idea originated with Rich who, alas, is no longer an active member. I revivified it for the New Year. The more who play, the better! (and thanks kindly for including me in your picks this week)

Gene,
I have a hard time finding this thread, or coming back to it. Where will it reside, under which forum? Frankly, I think it should have its own forum. I really enjoy looking at photos and commenting on them, so thank you for putting up some great images.
