I really liked Luigi's composition a lot - the well balanced geometric arrangement of light and shade and shapes within the frame; the figures the icing on the cake.

Phil has a very nice way of working with light. Nice composition, with the mannequin in period costume in the mirror

film noir, in daylight

dereliction and mystery. I liked the mood, framing, and (surprisingly) the high contrast

another sensual photograph from Keith, who always sees the light.

I loved this delightful picture. They are so cute, occupying themselves with serious children's business out of sight of the grown-ups.

This is my first successful attempt to post in gallery picks. This shot by Lynn is my favourite this week. It's moved to the right and I don't know why. No it's okay.

 

[StefanJozef]

Can I thank tigerphil, biomed and Lynn for inclusion in this thread.

 

[lynnb]

thanks Mike; and Stefan (now you have no excuse).

Paulfish -16F no.2: very nice viewpoint. I feel like I'm about to be transported in a dream word. The low viewpoint completely throws the sense of scale. Lovely.

Mudride - Barnrikehuset: I like all of your multiple exposures this week, but especially the two of the apartment buildings. The tones and grain are beautiful and I love the crisscross of lines in the upper left corner of the image.

Dotour -Shadow: Love the antlers, the railing, and the lopsided jacket on the shadow...it all contributes to a memorable shadow portrait

Jbielikowski - Marlboro: I bow my hat to your great eye and skill and for the sheer improbability of a successful night shot with ISO 100, a darkish Rolleiflex focusing screen, and shallow DOF

Bushwick1234 - Legs: Truly an inspiration for me! Too bad for the somewhat pixelated scan. I would gladly have a print of this image in my study.
