OlliL posted this one at the beginning of the week.
I keep having another look!
It isn't quite symmetrical - maybe that's the attraction, and the 'brutal' simplicity.

I left a comment that this reminded me of some of the Lowry painting of 'matchstick' men. Not quite, but very subtle, nearly B&W, but not, with just those glimpses of colour.
And a lot to see in the picture.

Thanks to Divewizard, Tigerphil, Angelo, and Jim for mentioning my photos. I've been away from this thread for a few weeks, nice to browse the great work in the Gallery again:
A powerful photo from Robklurfield: Pleading (No. 1). I would encourage you to read Rob's text about this image here http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/showphoto.php?photoid=199468. Perhaps the empty place surrounded by a dark wall of trees symbolises the mental prison of the young man in the centre of the image, who is experiencing a psychotic incident. The police have arrived and are calmly talking to him, resulting in a peaceful resolution to what with less sympathetic handling could have been a very different, and tragic, outcome.
Richard Berter's Inside These Walls. I believe most parents can relate to times like this. Great shot.
Begona's Sorrow. The picture says it all.
another favourite from the past week: Photony Texas' Dallas Didactic IV. Wonderful abstract surrealism!
Divewizard's Breaking Storm and a Minus Tide at Iversen Cove. What I liked about this was the drama of the dramatically lit, sombre rocks and their contrast with the theatrical backdrop of the clouds and sky. It's also one of those images that would look equally good in b&w.
Semrich's Untitled. I liked the subject's warmth and humanity in this well composed environment portrait.
Raid's photo of Lina, asleep amidst the company and security of treasured childhood dolls. This is such a sweet picture.
Mudride's Söndag, a beautiful portrait of his wife
Kiev Ilegelac's Chwarak. This powerful portrait by Alex has a feeling of menace. What will we ever do if the iconography of cigarettes disappears?
Paulfish4570's Untitled. Paul's bit of eeriness for the week.
Luiman's Paris, 2013/02. I liked the moody atmospherics of the moon through the delicate tracery of the tree branches
Barwulf's Grain Elevator 14. Before long these historic structures will disappear forever. I liked the wisp of cloud apparently coming from the roof.
Tigerphil's White Gate, '13. The composition drew my attention, then the invitation to ignore the sign and wander down to that nice comfortable chair. Lovely tonality.
Koolzakukumba's Fin in flight - great timing!
Richard G's Metal #2. Nice to see Richard excelling in the long tradition of photographing metal chairs.

rinzlerb, who delighted me last week with several bovine portraits, adds to his oeuvre with this image of a lovely Scotch Highland cow who is trying to figure out a TLR. rinzlerb informed me that these little cattle grow to be 36-45 inches tall at the shoulder.

Barnwulf. Jim's images of grain elevators brought to mind the work of the Bechers, known for their images of German water towers and industrial plants. Perhaps Jim has managed to catch a few these before they disappear....
