It seems like it's always a good week with this thread. Here's mine:

ferider, I like this most for it's composition, and the color isn't all that shabby either. Well done.

photony texas, Your double exposures keep getting better and better, as seen here.

U25693I1310614221.SEQ.0.jpg




Keith, Great, it's got a real 3D look to it.

U5265I1310637411.SEQ.0.jpg




Martini, A great shot to teach the concept of "Learning How to See".

Mlehrman, This can definitely be classified as a "Great Catch", it makes me consider all kinds of questions about it. Everything about it is a 10.

U3187I1310798783.SEQ.0.jpg




StefanJozef, Looks a bit like Alfred Hitchcock, at least in the thumbnail. I had to open it to be sure. It still kind of resembles him with the pouty lip.

U19465I1310850057.SEQ.0.jpg




Tuna, Top notch for it's scale and proportion, it also works good in color.

U2655I1310868061.SEQ.0.jpg
 
In most weekly choices, B&W picks are dominant. So far, color picks are dominant here.

Phil's shot of this plantation porch has very nice pattern, tonality and a balance even with the two pillers on the right side.
U34170I1310644770.SEQ.0.jpg

thanks ferider, Luigi and Jim for mentioning my photos.

my favourite BW images for the week

haempe - I love the grain and the movement and feeling of a live event
06_11_1401.jpg


StefanJozef - S13. Strong and interesting portrait, unusual viewpoint, focus separation
U19465I1310850057.SEQ.0.jpg


Semrich - autograph. Lovely light and portrait of a famous photographer. I also liked the Chimper photo.
U5622I1310813965.SEQ.0.jpg


Dazedgoneby - Edward Robert McKinney. The fallen soldiers fade out of focus, like the memories of them over time. I like the framing and selective focus, and tonality.
showphoto.php


Ezzie - Through the trees looms a palace. Sympathetic framing and beautiful toning with Neopan400+Caffenol
U32099I1310732199.SEQ.0.jpg


Tuna - This just grabbed my attention the moment I saw it - composition and tonal control in black & white
U2655I1310686499.SEQ.0.jpg


nksdks - Leda. delightful - and strong-willed!
U39773I1310584536.SEQ.0.jpg


Luigi - Les autres_02. A slice of daily life with a Rollei 35, one gets the impression every day is just like this one.
U28407I1310500384.SEQ.0.jpg


my favourite colour images for the week

Brainwood - Field edge. I like the painterly light, colour and tonality
rape-seed.jpg


freeranger - magical light, colour, atmosphere
U5363I1310849662.SEQ.0.jpg


mto'brien - orphium bell 1. Great expression, colour - could be a painting. I also liked the orphium bell 2 photo.
U37351I1310833951.SEQ.0.jpg


Tony Pio - Critici. One of those wonderful moments when all the expressions are priceless
