These are my pics this week:

J.scooter with a photo where the use of the light and the lens give us a strong feeling:

Malcolm M with his watch mechanism: It's not my preferred genre of photography but this is very well made, a perfect exercise without the help of modern technology. Bravo, well done!

Phoenix by Rhl-oregon: lines, patterns, reflections and textures. Love it!

Excellent photo by Wenge: train, clouds and smoke everything in the correct place!

A solitary man in this urban scenery by Lynn: a photo which let me think about our urban world

It's the eye contact which makes this urban portrait by Steve Kessel special, enhanced by a great B&W

Richard G with this photo remind me what a good B&W is: graphic, subject, light, composition...

and again Richard G for the exact composition, the use of light...and the cat

Mcary: winter is here, no doubt about!

Now excuse me but today it's my birthday and I'm going out for dinner ! No time for the color selection, I'll do it tomorrow I have already seen good material

Lots of emotions represented here. Is she curious, suspicious, questioning? All these plus much more and it is a great photo.

There is something to be said about the Sigma DP3 Merrill for B&W. Unbeatable!

Wow! Winter is here and came in with a fury.

Now my color selection...

Mcary with a great use of light and color

Raid with one of his landscape shots, love the bird(seagull?)

Two very different from Tuna: I like the complexity and the strong color in one and the simplicity with soft colours, almost watercolor in the other.

We are used to beauty in the portraits by Alex Krasotkin...like this one with Liza and Yana!

Rangefinder 35 give us a photo where we can "feel" the time...great!

As always many good photos in the gallery, well done everyone!
