Anybody can start the thread on a Monday morning.

Shall we begin?

Papercut · Jun 9, 2008

These are the photos that stuck out to me this week:

Keith: The Artist and His Work: love the way the lines all lead to to the center of the frame where the sparks are.

morphomir: *** : what I would call an "urban carnival" shot

taxi38: Punks : great range of expressions ... lovely

dazedgoneby: 50 cent pool : captures the gritty atmosphere and the shadowed head but highlighted tattooed arm and pool stick is very nice.

rogers: Manga : wonderful light and excellently rendered mood

Petronius: Sacks : another quotidian detail, perfectly framed

lzr: One Legged : camera and scene combine to make a wholly original photograph

sinetsin: Lines and squares : an architectural abstract -- great perspective and framing

Pitxu: Town & Country : great scene and just the perfect title!

nksyoon: Old Jameson Distillery Reflected -- much enjoy the dual reflections, both warped but differently. Nicely seen.

edho: Traveller - captures the feeling of travel, and has exceptional framing in the wide open space, but with her path mirroring the implied diagonal of the dark bars on the floor

Fabian: 33-09 -- great juxtaposition

mwooten: capital -- the glorious colors.

Walter Leoporati: globe reflections : the different perspectives in the three different reflections grab me.

OurManInTangier: a mother's arms - either amazing timing/chance or extreme patience to see this potential photo and then wait for a passerby. either way it's exceptional.

-- can only post 15 images per post -- so additional shots to follow.

gerado: tiger city boxing stable -- really wonderful action shot and putting the boxers in the corner works.

Pitxu: The Story Teller -- he embodies his profession and somehow Richard manages to capture the man and his passion in this frame.

Thanks, MickH! (It feels a bit like cheating to take pictures in such a wonderful building with it's amazing lines and light: Frank Lloyd Wright is a far, far better architect than I am a photographer!)

dazedgonebye · Jun 9, 2008

Pitxu...honored, I'm sure.

Franko. "Upstairs Bedroom-71".

I love the charm and simplicity of this one.

I'm not sure how this happens, maybe I'm not paying as much attention as I should

but I often miss photographs that others pick up on - probably a good reason to keep this sequence of threads going. This one certainly slipped under the radar and its a stonker.

sinetsin · Jun 10, 2008
