Thanks to Carlos and Luigi.

And it's always great to see the wonderful photos that I missed in my perusal of the gallery. Can't believe I missed obwong's beach photo. Amazing.

Worth a mention for this fantastic photo. I won't post the image again since many people have done so already.

Tuna

Like it for composition and light, the two figures and the angle at which taken.

 

[Stravinsky]

Late to the party...

le vrai rdu: Trier church
I think the tones of le vrai rdu are a trademark, I love them so much. A lot of people picked the great portraits he posted this week, I'd like to pick the church made with the Y-mat.

luiman: The Night Has a Thousand Eyes 09
Out of this fantastic serie, I want to show this one I like for the definition of the lamp. I like to shoot at night and I can tell it is pretty hard to avoid the direct light to burn out from the frame!

Peter^: golden gate
Ya' know, I have a thing for the bridges. They are a sign of the man but yet I feel they are out of time. This is one of the most spectacular of the world, and I hope to see it sooner or later.

haempe: stairs
I like this simple composition that plays with the white theme:

 

[Stravinsky]

...and thank you to hteasley for the mention. I am honoured to be among such great photographers.

 

[photony texas]

Thanks gho for mentioning my double exposure series and French Girl photo.
Being picked for the monday gallery is a honor.

 

[luiman]

Thank you very much, Stravinsky! You're right about the direct light at night: to show off the light and then compose the picture ...

 

[Arvay]

Thanks hteasley and Carlos M for mention!

Doug Black Beach

I just like the scope and view of the wonderful Biogon35/2.

 

[Guillermo]

A few not yet mentioned followed with some that have been;

md2008 - fantastic isolation.

obwong - oddly entertaining.

Harrejesus - curious POV establishing a moment ("when") while setting a foundation for "where". What's left for us is "how".

ricnac

le vrai du - always good stuff from him...

luiman

ricnac again - modern color at it's best.

OurManInTangier - one of the best talents posting here. Keep 'em coming, Simon.

Jodorowski - the question for me is often, "would I hang it?". Yes.
