Gallery Picks for the week ending November 11, 2013

Gallery Picks is an opportunity for you to post a heads up to what you have seen during the past seven days at RFF that you like.
There's no membership requirement, no criteria (except past seven days), no voting, no limit to the number of photos mentioned, and everybody mentioned is a winner.

Anybody can start the thread on a Monday.

Anybody can join in, it's a community event!



Could not wait for Tony to start the thread this week. I really wanted to applaud Carterofmars for this great catch:

apparently it's monochrom week. i'm so glad a couple of people got new toys. :)

here are a few photos i liked this week

Halloween NYC © 2013 Icebear

med_U6650I1383523970.SEQ.1.jpg


i liked a whole bunch of the halloween photos, but then i like costume parties as photo subjects. i liked this one best because of how the silver suit jumped and for how much detail remained in the background. amazing camera, and well used.

lovely, unobscured connection with the subject. she's not doing anything terribly interesting, but the photo is very interesting. she's very present.

U49069I1383557260.SEQ.0.jpg


all of the photos of this guy are pretty awesome. every time i see someone like this, i remind myself that i should quit my bellyaching right away. i picked this photo because it's close, because i love the water background and because you can see his face linking to his arm. great moment. no irony. just strength.

ridiculously luminous moment. great shadow that lines up with the man's collar. i'm sure this was well seen and perhaps thought out a little bit, but getting something at the right instant involves some serendipity and the use of some unconscious skillset.

nicely constructed. wall on one side. bed on the other. textured floor. lots of right angles and then a few organic shapes to balance. beautiful soft light. fantastically intimate. plus, the two of them are very sympathetic subjects.

her eyes made me open the thumbnail and then i started looking around the frame some more. her posture, the mysterious figures in the foreground, the lovely texture on the building, the addams family fence, the old style buzzer box in the background. really engaging, and lots of possible stories at work. i imagine that this was a relatively ordinary street on a relatively ordinary day, but it got picked at a moment and at an angle that created a lot of possibilities.

photo of the week for me. glows and glows, and has great eyelash focus. :) it's like she's coming out from being underwater. very silver-screen.
 
Here my picks of the week, one of the strongest in a long time. Not so many submissions but great shots.

Thank you very much to Shac, Mike, and Klaus for including my photos in your favourites this week!

My favourite gallery picture in the past week:
As much a picture of the inner turmoil of adolescence as the external appearance.

Johan's pictures of his beautiful wife and baby daughter are a joy to behold. My equal favourite pictures of the past week.

this photo grew on me the more I looked at it. Both colour and mood. Like Eggleston.
