thank you Raid. I really liked this photo "new best friends" by Paulfish4570. It is best seen at full size in the Gallery - both the dog and the girl have one paw raised in anticipation, mirroring each other:

Maiku's whole series is worth a look - so many nice street portraits, of young and old alike. I'll just mention this one as a sample:

This has already been mentioned, but it's one of my favourites too. As Chris commented, you feel wet just looking at it.

I also liked Holy Reading by Bushwick1234. The tight composition reduces the image to its bare essentials

I usually like child pictures taken at their eye level and with some eye contact, but it only takes a photo like this to show me that other views can produce really good photos. I like the story here and there's a great interaction between the main characters, the baby and the toddler bystander, as well as things going on in the background to give context. I also liked the composition with its balance of light and shade, and depth.
As with Paul's photo earlier, this is best viewed at the large size in the gallery

I like Richard's capture of the dynamic position of the rider, and the interaction with the man across the street. Nice timing. It has a timeless feel.
