Gallery Picks For Week Ending Monday 21 January 2008

[ClaremontPhoto]

'Gallery Picks' is just a bunch of us giving a heads up to what we have seen during the past seven days at RFF that we like.

There's no membership requirement, no criteria (except past seven days), no voting, no limit to the number of photos we mention, and everybody mentioned is a winner.

Anybody can start the thread on a Monday morning.

Anybody can join in.

How could this be by anybody other than Swann?

Green grass, great composition, and a twist.

Another great photo.

What an amazing fantastic photo from IZr.

It just jumps out of the thumbnails.

The light, the color, and the subject. All one hundred percent.

Thanks Jon.
I hope we will have another great photo week.

Gorgeous, wonderful, and memorable.

The subject, the light, and the composition are all perfect.

I like the light and the composition.

Five star photo.

Memphis:


Very nicely composed and lit, with a charming feel, and a very suitable title.

rxmd:


I like the whole series for the sense of a modern dynamic city; but perhaps this is the best.

Just one from a great series of autumn fair pictures. Now I'm waiting for the spring fair!

 

[ClaremontPhoto]

My ball is allways here for you Jon.

What do you mean?

FrankG, please expose this man!

 

[ClaremontPhoto]

I agree with rxmd...

1. Pictures on the front page - maybe a Gallery Pick of the Week instead of Top Old News Items
2. Stop forum inflation - it already makes things more difficult to find!
3. Fix the search function

It's weird and it's wonderful.

You have photographed such desolation in a beautiful manner.

How do you learn to spot that kind of thing?

 

[rxmd]

Thanks for all your preferences for blur

steamer.


The arrangement of the people is great and makes a great photo, but the color is wonderful and makes a wonderful photo.

Did it really happen like this with a very limited number of saturated colors?

 

[ClaremontPhoto]

robert blu.

The framing / crop is exactly correct and it's what made me click the thumbnail.

It's a great photo.

 

[ClaremontPhoto]

Lovely, could be a car ad.

Great timing and well presented.

Another five...

Kuvvy: News in the sun
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=77496
Great composition, I love the inverted triangle created by the white buildings in the background.

xtoid: Ted's Room
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=77502
Enigmatic and engaging.

Bud Green: Self Portrait
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=77518
There is so much going on in this deceptively simple shot. I'm not one for hyperbole, but this is one of my favourite shots in the whole gallery.

lZr: Bench
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=77533
Ceci n'est pas un chapeau (S'cuse my French!)

Formal: Pitbull Puppies
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=77534
I used to live around lads like this (and the urban cowboys from the same series). This one shot encapsulates so much!

I must get on with some work now.
