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.
 
Another excellent week !

Let's start with a special photo by Rhl-oregon: Fernando's PL lecture. I like how it nearly displays our today's world...love the frames in the frame, the excellent B&W...

Another today's scene by Raid, where the human contraposition and the colors make it interesting

No contraposition here but an elegant shot by Cleopatra, who at 7 starts her career as photographer very well, for sure she has a good teacher in the family !

I like the series by Lynn in the Gore Hill Cemetery, quite a different style for him, no powerful waves but quietness and meditation, well done Lynn!

Excellent use of light for this much graphic image by Bike Tourist. Simple and effective.

Bushwicck1234 gives us a strong subway image...the movement..the face...

med_U53150I1564830045.SEQ.0.jpg


A strong street portrait from a political march in Manhattan by Mlehrman: look at the expression in the face!

Guy Pinhas has an excellent idea in this stripe: love the concept, the visual result. Great!

J.scooter as always shows us an image where great b&w tones and a rigorous composition are combined: as bonus a seagull brings some life in it.

Usually I select only one photo for author but sometimes it is so difficult and I have to make an exception: it's the case of this image by Rhl-oregon which let me think of Wim Wenders and his american spaces...

As I said earlier a great week with many good author, congrats to everybody!
 
Thanks for including one of mine this week, Robert. As an aside, I liked what you said in your latest blog: " The concept to make a selection of the shooting seems to be from other times." How true!
 
Thanks Robert and I am taking this opportunity to pimp your polaroid project which I think is really very cool!

Lynn, our very own "opportunist photographer", from waves to graves, all seen with a most original eye.

and:

Raid's studies with primary beach colors is infectious. I'll choose one of a series of notable shots:

Thanks Guy much appreciated, maybe I'll start a thread about the Polas from that road trip just to have the pictures together...

One more to add:

Mannheim Rhineharbor XI/XIV by Munter: I like the graphic effect produced by the light and shadow play in the frame
