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!

Mlehrman - Blue strap.

Mlehrman - Blue strap.

- a stolen picture in many ways. Would the woman have let the photo be taken if she had known her strap was showing?
And to capture that colour so vividly in what is nearly a black and white photo! Great photo.

U3187I1338083031.SEQ.0.jpg
 
By the look of the picks so far, I don't have to justify why my first few picks are all girls. I'ts the photographers' fault.

Thanks for the mention Jay Decker!

Her are my picks:

Although this wasn't posted in the Gallery, I feel this picture needs to be included. It is my favorite for the week.

Michel.Roth (new to RFF, talk about making an entrance!!!)

tbarker13 Wonderful environmental portrait
U6571I1337660941.SEQ.0.jpg



hausen Great use of the square format, good composition and timing the boat in the background adds interest
U32876I1337659461.SEQ.0.jpg



Greyscale Eye catching color
U38424I1337745671.SEQ.0.jpg



Arvay Stunning beauty, great eye contact and expression
U21176I1337723152.SEQ.0.jpg



Martini one of many fine night/light painting shots of yours
DSF8968.jpg



semrich I like the movement and action
U5622I1337962733.SEQ.0.jpg



dotur: devine light the name says it all!
U29760I1338015767.SEQ.0.jpg
 
many thanks to JayDecker, Richard G and Luigi for mentioning my photos.

My favourite was Kvinnan jag alskar, by Mudride. Such a sweet and tender capture of the look of love.

U30063I1338076248.SEQ.0.jpg


Mr. T, by direwolf101. Mr T's personality grabbed my attention.

U15742I1338130158.SEQ.0.jpg


Egon mit Radfahrergruppen, by MRohlfing's father. A fascinating look back in time to everyday life in 1930s Germany. Less formal and comprehensive than, but reminding me of August Sander's brilliant series. What strikes me is how people dressed up to present themselves well to the world, in contrast to the common habit of casual dress nowadays.

U10398I1338075795.SEQ.0.jpg


Miss Pea Swinging, by Jay Decker. The exuberance of youth, captured with an interesting viewpoint

U11272I1338066947.SEQ.0.jpg


6th Avenue, by Mlehrman. Great street shot. Love that expression on the chap on the right.

U3187I1338012820.SEQ.0.jpg


Lena II, by Arvay. Mysterious and a bit foreboding, the maiden's glance suggests apprehension about what may be following her... (perhaps it's a stalker with a GX). I liked the tonal cues to depth, in addition to the dof cues.

U21176I1337977359.SEQ.0.jpg


another of Arvay's portraits - Darya. Words not necessary.

U21176I1337723152.SEQ.0.jpg


Glynallyn Castle Gardens, by Rob Klurfield. Interesting subject, depth, lovely light, and tonality.

7267970542_742d5acb80_h.jpg


the bridge, by Print44. Beautiful study in light, texture and composition.

U43415I1337946310.SEQ.0.jpg


**, by Keith. Captures the imagination - I liked the comment: 'porthole to Fairy Land'. Lovely tonality.

U5265I1337941029.SEQ.0.jpg


another of Keith's RD-1 shots - I liked this for its composition, tonality and depth

U5265I1337854730.SEQ.0.jpg


Gabriela, by Crazy Fedya. This little lady would steal anyone's heart. Delightful photo by Sam.

U38816I1337746334.SEQ.0.jpg


tram 3, by dotur. Ivan's candid photo in a tram is much more than just a snapshot. Beautiful and timeless.

Thank you to ferider and Jay Decker for including my photos. There are lots of things I really liked posted in the last few days but I like including things that haven't been highlighted by anyone else:
