'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.

A really good photo of nothing.

Even the angle is just right to accentuate the dark bands on the floor and the lowered ceiling.

Just a quick question here, to avoid confusion. When selecting the "Picks Of The Week" do we include photos submitted on the Monday, or is Sunday the cut-off point?

Thanks,

Confused of Leicester.
 
I'll start putting photos in my Favorites today (Monday) and mention whatever's there next Monday.

We needn't be too strict with ourselves over dates since it's not yet lunch on Monday here, but it's almost Tuesday in Australia, and the Americans haven't even had Monday breakfast yet.

Do what makes sense for you.

Creative use of the wide angle (I hope!) which adds humour, puts this one ahead of all the "straight" portraits I've seen this week.

Comedy and mystery in one shot.

It was Tuna's comment that opened my eyes to the other possibilities with this one. A good idea to avoid the title in the first place and let the image "speak".

1 If you have the time post your Gallery Picks one by one. Drip, drip, and bump, bump.

2 When you mention a photo think about telling the photographer that their photo has been mentioned. It may engage people who know there's a Gallery but don't know there's a Gallery Picks thread.

... as a comment under the photo. The URL needs changing once a week, and I keep it on a sticky on my desktop. Windows users must have something similar to a Mac sticky where they can keep a text fragment.

Thank you, but it is hardly from this past week.

That photo is about five years old and was what got me back into photography after a long gap.

I picked up a camera for the first time in 20 years or so to enter a competition and was lucky enough to see this scene. And won the competition.
