Gallery picks for the previous 7 days at Aug29th

OK. Here are mine. I'm going to get on track for Mondays, so my list goes from Thursday through Sunday.

Graski's Library Building. Big bold hard-edged shapes contrasted with the freeform of clouds. Who can resist?

wlewisiii's Lions and Tigers, oh my.... I know what's going on here, but there's still this overwhelming sense of vulnerability.

Graski again. This time Bill of Death. There's so much here with so little.

Chenick's Hanging Out. Wonderful composition, balance, color scheme and crackling contrast. (P.S. look here for yet another great 50 Nokton shot.)

foolproof's Abbey St. Artist. The eyes say it all. Mad is right!

foolproof gets my favorite of the week Girl and Lifeguards

MelanieC's Mother of the Bride The look says it all. A great capture.

Santino's Playing Around. Is there a better use for wide angle than letting kids run wild and free?

kbg32's Broadway #30199. Keith has got a method and a purpose. He consistently gives us NYC from the hip. Here he breaks out the M7 and a CV 28/3.5.

Designer's Gallery. This has the classic 'street' feel and brought to me some insight about how I preceive this place.

My picks (in no particular order):

RayPA: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/data/500/street0666_adj1b.jpg The tones, detail and geometry of this shot just grabbed me.

graksi:http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/data/500/sex_shop_cb_lnh_nps_web_m.jpg I just liked this one.

traveller: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/data/500/chairs.jpg This shot is just plain lovely.

whitecat: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/data/6272/WL_10.jpg This picture just pulls you in.

Vagabond: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/data/4901/060819_25.jpg This photo just works well. DOF, light, element of mystery ... it's all there.

FrankS: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/data/5089/medium/papi_serious.jpg A wonderful portrait.

I know I've left out may great shots, but these were the ones that really jumped out at me for one reason or another.
