[robert blu]

petronius with another of his rollei pictures. Simple and graphic B&W.

Richard Lee stones: a simple subject where the light place an important role.

Paulfish4570 with minimal 19: a picture with the taste of another time. And technically very well made.

porktaco with pre halloween dance: a "dark" picture with a lot of mistery in it. It could be the cover of a thriller book...

viewfinder-m2: Summarit 1,5, M7: another picture which transmit a sense of mistery, or a menace coming.

LIIca with white umbrella: I defined this a multi-level picture: the small size people walking on the pavement ...wow !

tedwhite with Late Afternoon light: a particular light can make a simple image special.

tom.w.bn . L1040639. A beautiful night photo. And the reflection make it more than a simple exercise adding something special. It seems there two photo in one.

Thank you Leica M2 fan, Petronius and Luiman for choosing my pictures!

Here are my picks:

Obwong - Silhouette. I'm impresed by the simplicity of this low-key image that features a strong sense of space and a mysterious atmosphere.

Ezzie - White on Black. I love this picture for its beautifully differentiated white and black tones, its composition and the fractal shapes.

dwp - Smoking. I'm impressed by this picture's composition (square format is particularly tricky) and the quiet, relaxed mood of this picture.

Paulfish4570 - Minimal 15. The strictness of those horizontal and vertical lines is in stark contrast with the slanted door and its irritating, slightly offset placement.

Filmfan - Random 1. Very impressive self-portrait - unpretentious, yet very sophisticated in an effortless way.

David67 - London, 2008. Beautiful framing and wonderful tonalities.

Filmfan - Magic Bus. This one's hilarious. Watch out, the blue meanies are taking over.

Luiman - 02. A beautiful abstract composition with a hint of mystery, as if this is about to become a crime scene.

[filmfan]

Wow. I did not think I would make it in here this week... Do I deserve it? Probably not, but I'll take it.

My second pick is David67's "London, 2009"

Frank Petronio (from my comments: "Great image, Frank. While I can't help staring at their eyes, let predict with great confidence that this image sets some kind of record for the most views on RFF this month, this year, maybe ever. And, it won't be because of their eyes. In any case, I love the light here. I suspect that the "horny old (and young) photographer/viewer/voyeur effect" will make this image a record-setter. Everyone looking will, for a moment at least, think that Kris and Meagan are looking at them....")
