Like many others I loved the photo by OurManInTangier, and Keith's rail tunnel shot.
This shot by dotur was also superb. A very dramatic image.

Simon, I'm grateful for the mention.

Here are my picks for the past week.



lynnb - pastels #5785
I love the warm subtle colors and the composition that draws us into the horizon.
U27021I1336616627.SEQ.0.jpg



dotur - window shot
I like the calm and reflective expression on her face.
U29760I1336683582.SEQ.0.jpg



stratcat - Costurera
The hanging veils in the back, the ruffles, the ribbons... I love that you caught that distinguished-looking woman who is so beautiful with her chignon and so concentrated on her work.
U45742I1336682490.SEQ.0.jpg



filmfan - Spectre.2
I love the way the centered presence skipping with her shadow seems to be floating on the surface.
U19407I1336716498.SEQ.0.jpg



lynnb - Play with me #196
This cat is scrumptiously adorable! What beautiful tones and composition.
U27021I1336735694.SEQ.0.jpg



OurManInTangier - Off-Whitehall
This photograpgh is the equivalent of a masterclass. I love the composition, the texture and light on the Bogart lookalike's clothes, hat and umbrella. But for me, it's all in the hands: the light on the the fingers holding the cell phone and taking a puff.
U8001I1336750780.SEQ.0.jpg



menthel - London!
The repeated poster of a woman on the top, the old movie star on the right, even the drawing of a Japanese geisha, and the walking woman. The horse seems to complete the framing so that all eyes are on the walking woman.
U45062I1336753342.SEQ.0.jpg



Rogrund
Interesting composition where one has a sense of "endlessness" and closeness. The human presence emphasizes the immensity of the place.
U8900I1336763937.SEQ.0.jpg



doomster - Dugout
One of a wonderful series. Textures and tones are beautiful and detailed surroundings captured a slice of life of a courageous woman.
U49069I1336765038.SEQ.0.jpg



Olivier S. - Bourges
Great composition that emphasizes the immensity of these awesome cathedrals. I love the tones and symetry.
U20028I1336769646.SEQ.0.jpg
 
dotur - morning walk
I love the composition and the mood in this picture.
U29760I1336418872.SEQ.0.jpg



Khunyapan - Skate
Interesting geometry and high contrast in the composition. The persons remind me of toy soldiers.
U50588I1336533092.SEQ.0.jpg



dotur - dancers
I love the white elongated dancer bodies against the midtone background and the black frame. The grain gives the impression of an old silent movie.
U29760I1336769690.SEQ.0.jpg



dotur- salt
I love the oblique lines and the position of the man with the orange vest, touch of color in this almost monochrome image.
U29760I1336769962.SEQ.0.jpg



boomguy57 - Peep Show
Well seen and fun wink.
U41807I1336782937.SEQ.0.jpg



Keith
Great, pure and simple.
U5265I1336803888.SEQ.0.jpg



StefanJosef - Still Life
Moment well caught and strong message.
U19465I1336815262.SEQ.0.jpg



rodfelici
I like the composition, particularly the person with the umbrella who seems to be lost in a sea of cars and satellite dishes.
U32557I1336829423.SEQ.0.jpg



LeicaFoReVer - New vs Old Life in Town
So well seen! The street that separates the group and the sitting woman acts as a symbol of the abyss that separates the two realities.
U25431I1336587769.SEQ.0.jpg



tigerphil - Little Run-Away,'12
I love the composition, light and texture. It wouldn't have been the same without the bird.
U34170I1336830794.SEQ.0.jpg
 
dotur - belfry
I love the composition, and the tones and textures are beautiful.
U29760I1336857101.SEQ.0.jpg



jcrutcher - Let's go read
It brought back memories of my daughter who was so much into books and stories when she was young!
U38380I1336881218.SEQ.0.jpg



Martini
The curved road and the bright orange color give the impression of speed. And that sky!

I love the feel and mood of this image, as if it was taken in the last century.
U29760I1336596731.SEQ.0.jpg



Pete Chipman - Prevail, Matrix style
I love the hair and curve of the body against the blurry crowd.
U49479I1336608858.SEQ.0.jpg
