This whole series by Greyscale are excellent. He's taken what often can be ordinary images of old cars and made them gorgeous. Colors and compositions are just right!

These abstracts by Bk1970 continue to show powerful complex imagery that provide for long bouts of just looking.

Lartigue? Cartier-Bresson? Nope. RFFer Guoshou. A classic beauty!

Powerful, straight-forward portrait by Gregoyle.

Thank you, Jamie. That should really be for next week, but I'll take 'em when I get 'em.

Yeah... I always get to these a day late. But those images belong in the pantheon, no matter what week.

Kiev Ilegalac (Alex) ... A TERRIBLE OOPS HERE: I accidentally attributed this fine image to someone else earlier today! This is from Alex, not Lynn, both of whom regularly contribute great, great images. Sorry to everyone, but especially to Alex, for my faux pas. Thanks also to Lynn, who being ever the gentleman, pointed this out to me.

Thanks to Rob, Luigi and Icebear for mentioning my photo. This thread gives me a good excuse to sit back and reflect on all the great imagery in the gallery over the past week.
Shinjuku by jonmanjiro. The greys of a rainy Tokyo evening contrast with the colourful glow of neon and headlights on wet pavement. The motion blur of pedestrians and trains imparts the urgency of a busy city and emphasises the anonymity of the participants. It reminds us this is one frame in the never-ending movie of big-city life. I felt like stepping into this picture and pressing the Play button.
Scrap Iron 1 by Greyscale. I found this downright spooky; it reminded me of a Stephen King novel, and Greyscale put a name to her: Christine. This image was part of a series of work which allowed us to see Greyscale's exploration of the subject, as the gallery curators say. Worth a look; there's some very nice images just as good as this one.
Untitled by Jamie Pillers. I loved Jamie's use of deep, rich colour (like an old master), and the highlight reflection on the vase to catch the eye and reference the light.
Tres Amigos by Doomster. A decisive moment, well composed with the wide angle giving context.
All of Kaspartuu's photos were inspiring. Another has already been mentioned, so it's a pleasure to include this terrific photo in this week's picks:
I liked Luigi's surreal photo at the Pompidou Centre, Paris 2013/13 (Beauborg Blues). It could be an album cover, for those of us old enough to remember them!
White Wicker,'13 by Tigerphil. I thought this was a beautiful study in light, shade, and depth perception. The exact alignment of the lighted areas and the shadow lines on the front and rear wicker chairs effectively joins them together into one flat space, turning the whole composition into a two-dimensional arrangement of light and shade. A hole is punched through this illusion by the keyhole gap and patch of sunlight in the foreground. I admire work like this.
tram station by Dotur. I like how everything leads me to the man poised to cross the barrier of the road, marked by a firmly dotted like, where all footprints indicate he should go, but also disappear - the cars on the other side perhaps waiting to leap out and eat him, too. At least he's chosen a spot opposite the one empty car space, offering refuge. Or perhaps I've just got an overactive imagination!
Uncle Lujo 2013 by Dotur. What I liked most about this portrait was the expressive eyes, interesting low viewpoint and the beautiful bw conversion's lighting and tonality.
Voigtlander 75mm f2.5 = nice lens by Zeshootist. I like the model's eyes and expression, and the unusual pose. Lovely skin tones and good composition with the 75mm.

Andrej by Kiev Ilegelac. I really liked this poignant, emotional portrait of what looks to be a lonely single man in his apartment. Perhaps there is no need to clear up the mess because no-one visits, or at least, no-one he needs to impress. An air of sadness and neglect pervades the frame.
So cute 2ndWeek by Varchs. Beautiful pup, curled up against mum's big paw. Lovely soft light and tones.
Real New Yorker by Mlehrman. I had to laugh - great capture!
Beautiful, ethereal M8 IR shot by Martini.
Brusby's other portrait of this model has already been mentioned, and I like this one equally as well.
Untitled by Oldschool Photo. A classic shot.
Semrich's untitled photo of two lovers, kissing in the passageway in Verona that leads to the courtyard beneath the balcony where Juliet was courted by Romeo. My teenage daughters thought this was beautiful and wonderful, and I just had to agree!
Untitled by Shirley Creazzo. By coincidence I was reading John Szarkowski's excellent book on Atget when I saw this picture, which bears some similarity to the way Atget photographed the same subject in and around Paris. I like the strong composition and the lovely textures and tones in the tree.
Simon's untitled photo has already been mentioned; what a powerful image, the low POV provides a strong diagonal pointing to something outside the frame. Great shot.
*** by Snausages. If I was that little yellow car I'd be feeling decidedly nervous!
another of Richard's (Semrich's) wonderful pictures of children in their own world, seemingly oblivious to the camera. Great framing.
I väntan på framtiden by Mudride. What a stunning print this would make.
