Gallery Picks for Week Ending Monday 10 December 2007

[semrich]

My picks, when I'm around come on Tuesdays because Mondays I'm not usually near a computer, are the following:

pstevenin - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=74664&cat=fav
A truly stunning photo, for its timing, light, and composition.

jbf - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=74661&cat=fav
The lighting and composition and how it creates a panoramic effect, the grain, activity, and that distainful look all come together to make it better than the sum of its parts.

nksyoon - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=74741&cat=fav
The wide field, tones and composition make this one for me.

ruben - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=74652&cat=fav
Great how out of all that movement he captured his eyes perfectly, really like he is zooming through space.

ferider - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=74642&cat=fav
I like this, particularly in the way the composition to includes a view down two streets and still had the building to the left of the frame.

ferider - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=74009&cpage=2#poststart
I like the lines in this, pun intended, the geometry, and the detail in how the towers recede into the distance.

chewbacca

(The whole series is brutally honest, powerfully emotive, and stunningly effective - it's rare that a series of photos has such an effect on me)

Ian, Jon, Simon, thanks a lot for the mention and for your very kind comments.
I hope I have time tomorrow to make and submit my selection.

Does anybody agree with me that the new forum's name is somewhat less than snappy and that Imagery Discussion would sum it up better?

The forum title needs to be self explanatory as much as possible
-- without being too long and detailed --
so newbies can quickly figure out how to use it.

I agree completely.

The full forum title is very self explanatory, when somebody finds it.

The 'Critiques Forum' link to it in the left navigation is not at all self explanatory.

That's why I suggest 'Imagery Discussion' as being both self explanatory and being short enough to fit in the left navigation.

Many thanks for the mentions fellows!
Late as usual I post my list:

Chewbacca - black 21
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=74799&cat=fav
a strong reportage about one of the worst modern disease; it should be published on some fashion magazine.

Kully - no more adventures
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=74742&cat=fav
the title explains all

Jon Claremont - Madonna and Gioconda
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=74724&cat=fav
very interesting concept on two iconic images juxtaposed

PStevenin - horse taking a shower
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=74664&cat=fav
Fiabesque like a Disney movie

Whitecat - Airshow
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=74618&cat=fav
composition and gorgeus tones makes it

Marc-A - portrait of a young woman
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=74609&cat=fav
this portrait is more about "youth" than just a young pretty woman

Dingowarlord - sexy rider
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=74576&cat=fav
A photo I'd like I've taken myself

that's all folks,
ciao
