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!

Another great week in the Gallery!

Frukoststund © 2013 Mudride. Sweet, gentle, and another beautiful picture of mother and baby - along with the cat, who seems intensely curious. Lovely shot.

Two from Xavi:

Farmers from Gaza Strip © 2013 Xavi.

Young fisherman from Gaza © 2013 Xavi. Beautiful portrait.

4/27/13 © 2013 Dotur. The eternal story. It looks like the girl has heard it all before.

I like the sophisticated colour in this shot from Aldenfender's colour series

Corrugation © 2013 Koolzakukumba. I like this composition - it looks like a two-dimensional abstract of form and shape, with nature's fractals and chaos ascendant over man's attempt at order.

Variation on a theme stair_03 © 2013 Luiman. Escher-like perspective and an eye-catching design within the frame. Reminds me of HCB's Heyeres, France, 1932 (without the bicycle)

Canyon Trees 1 © 2013 Angelog. I liked the balanced contrasts and strong graphical quality of this semi-abstract landscape.

Judith on Beach © 2013 Jesse1dog
A beautiful time warp. Love the colour.

Untitled - Photo 205698 © 2013 Msbarnes. Loved the mood in this shot.

Keith's DP2M is being put to great use. I get GAS when I see these:

The reader © 2013 C.poulton. As if the reader is looking out into a dream..

Apples © 2013 Rohankent. Lovely child portrait.

maguey museo templo mayor © 2013 Vbsoto. I like the illustrative rendering and muted colours

I've decided to focus on 4/22-28 images where the impulse to abstract holds its own against a complementary but sometimes opposite urge to represent. (Let others celebrate the human form divine, as Billy Blake styled it.)
