Gallery Picks for the week ending 29th October 2012

[Richard G]

Gallery Picks is an opportunity for you to post a heads up to what you have seen during the past seven days at RFF that you like.
There's no membership requirement, no criteria (except past seven days), no voting, no limit to the number of photos mentioned, and everybody mentioned is a winner.

Anybody can start the thread on a Monday.

Anybody can join in, it's a community event!


Tough week, for choosing, for omitting….I intended to have my smallest number ever. Instead it's one of the largest picks of mine. I thought of giving up half way through……I was determined not to pick one of Koolzakukumba's. Surely I shouldn't pick three of Lawrence's, I thought. In the end it's too few of his I've picked this week. And as usual there will be gold I've considered and recklessly omitted, and worse, gold I have stumbled over, not seeing.

Beautiful corner to corner composition and great sky and I like the congregation of people on the walk way.

I had difficulty in deciding which of the 5 to pick, it could have been any and not this one.

Very good presentation with the subject in the light and the marvelous background looming in the background.

Another from the 'Challenge' - slightly enigmatic, but good rendering.

East 9th St by Miehrman

East 9th St by Miehrman

First thing that caught my eye was that it is in color, and the color is well done.
