And here is my selection for this week:
I start with Governor Island by Mlehrman, love the almost dark and gritty look.
Another interesting photo with great tones and a nice subject by Stefanjozef:
And Myrtle Grove Road, love the simplicity and the sense of quiet solitude, well done Rhl-oregon !
A simple melancholic scene well photographed by Siracusa
A strong energy comes out from this photo by Greyscale, love the gesture
Only B&W so far...but I have a special mention for this photo by Mlehrman: Governors Island Ferry. I have no idea how he got this colors from the Ektar but I like very much the look, like a painting from...
More particular colors fro, Dave with his County Fair photo, interesting semi abstract look.
Thanks to everybody who posted in the gallery, great works!
I'm now curious to see what other RFF members liked in this week!

Opps, I like to mention an excellent series by Lcsmith, Johnson Museum of Art Architect I.M.Pei
I always think that looking at a body of work, a series of pictures we can better see the authorship of the photographer, just my idea

I am always dumbfounded to see my gallery posts given special attention. Didn't anyone see these?
JScooter
Going back over JScooter's oeuvre you will see an efficient description of contradictions. I think that people who are seriously doing photography see thousands of pictures a day. The most enticing pictures a serious photographer wants to take are self-evidently attractive. JScooter's pictures often attract for this reason, that one thing is put into contradiction with another in a way that makes us think it's important for us to notice.
Lynn
My favorite pictures made by Lynn are the seascapes, often violent drawings in dark and light, like Poseidon bellowing forth blissful baritone percussions in salt and shadow.
MLehrman
MLehrman gives us what seems to be a table top shot cleverly composed with figures on diagonal line, like a bishop on the right eyeing a pawn on the left. The pawn's move is always straightforward: wait for further orders. Suddenly the knight (or photographer) flies forth attacking both in dark from light.

[First, a bold pitch for my giant new Want to Trade ad! There’s something for nearly everyone. It’s a revolutionary if not anarchic attempt to spread good gear as I look to acquire fewer finer jewels of photography for myself. Come on by!]
Thank you Robert, James (note: your RHL pick was inspired by your series, which LC Smith praises in detail) and Greg.
Here are some of my admirations for the week.
Lynn/Lynnb
Because Lynn is the master of spare human patterns of distance and removal at the edge of his world.
Mike/Mlehrman
My comment there: “Great split view, Mike. One nearer, one farther; one in a windowed vista, the other in claustrophobe-land; one in profile, one suspiciously facing forward. You’re operating like some of my favorite painters.”
James/jscooter
Really, it’s the series, for conceptual clarity and concision. My comment on this one: “Looking more closely, I deeply appreciate the series — twosomes and threesomes at a remove from us, whether they are huddled, or at a remove from one another, or even sentient by ordinary standards. The compositional empathy makes the chairs and water-grasses poignant enactors of distance and longing, as much as the umbrella trio fenced off from the swans in their infinite waters.”
Bushwick1234
Winner of the whimsical interspecies snap. And it’s nice to see Kaniel’s beautiful daughter modeling a fledgling.
Siracusa
I’m very glad to see David’s work again, and might have picked one of his poignant seaside processionals of salt-killed evergreens, but this haunted interior is my choice. I commented “we have rustic ordinary welcoming comfort without the swallow, but its wraith is a sign of the ancient continuity that if we are lucky includes us.”
Stefan Jozef
Always judicious and subtle and wry in his vision, framing, and grasp of human quirks. The jauntiness and jollity of these two men make a droll contrast with their evangelist signage. I hope they’re churchgoers, too, and not just hired signwavers—I’d like to hear what and especially how they believe.
Bushwick1234
Kaniel gets two, this one doesn’t skate by on whimsy and a lovely model, but presents the essential urban human conundrum of mismatched puzzle pieces jammed together for a moment only a photographer records.
Ciao, Robert
