[Mlehrman]

Thank you Paul, hteasley, mrtoml, barnwulf, Richard G, and ferider for including my shots in the weeks choices. I am honored.

My choices for the week (there are more but I've run out of time):

Taskoni's "a friend". Irresistably dramatic - and I love the way that straw jabs into the dark

Paul's deceptively simple and beautifully framed

Tuna's work, difficult to take just one look at;

Paul says it's underexposed, but we know better - it's just perfect.

Tigerphil's abstract:
