Many thanks Ko.Fe, functus, j.scooter, Tony, and Bike Tourist for mentioning my photos! I always appreciate it when people like my photos enough to include them in this thread.

Russia. Isakovo, 2015 © 2015 Michel.roth
A heart-wrenching image. I would like to know the back story. I understand Isakovo is a small town of under 700 people in rural Croatia.

Checking the posture © 2015 Alberti
This is an interesting photo on the power of semiology. I like the preoccupation of photographer and model, and the panoramic composition and context, but what totally dominates the visual field, to my eye at least, is that "No Entry" sign dead centre..

My warmest congratulations to Johan and Britta on the arrival of Ester, little sister to Hilda. What greater joy could there be in a photograph?

...one with a story © 2015 Siracusa
The sun is radiant, throwing the Merde! into the shadows - a fitting photograph, given the circumstances. Welcome back, David. Good to see you again. You've been missed.

Niland © 2015 Functus
Abandoned dreams of civic pride. I like the composition with that bicycle rider and the deserted streets. The town is in slow decline; this photo conveys that.

if Atget had a Monochrom, he might well have made the same photo. Love the shadows and the light sculpting. Very nice work.

Nick © 2015 Jay Decker
this is so good!

Doug's fading queen in beautiful light

Jersey Street © 2015 Mlehrman
beautiful contre jour

Untitled © 2015 Tuna
Wonderful catch of gesture. Love the framing - it could be a theatre or movie set. Lots of interesting detail to feast on. The bicycle is essential to the balance IMO.

Untitled - Photo 253287 © 2015 Bushwick1234
perfect timing and great composition. Love the lines, and the light off the cobblestones.

Namur © 2015 Lukitas
Rarely have I seen so desolate a space. Is this the waiting room to hell?

Graveyard reflections.... © 2015 Stefanjozef
The central composition and square aspect impart peaceful stability. I like the texture of the dark stonework and the reflections in the glass. The vases suggest ritual. There is a sombre mood. I find beauty in this.

Untitled - Photo 253230 © 2015 Richard G
A bookseller with taste - only to be expected, given the location. Very nice street capture from the city of light

Halloween NYC 2015 © 2015 Icebear
I liked this whole series - this one the most, for that infectious, cheeky smile:

Robert's beautiful Impossible 2.0 bw pictures - simply gorgeous

Mean Streets II © 2015 Baby Of Macon
I liked the menacing appearance of the trams in this well executed noir photo

Untitled - Photo 253099 © 2015 Semrich
great timing, well composed and striking colour from Richard

Walk © 2015 Harrejesus
I like that vast expanse of sky, and the wintry feel of those trees. Despite the cold it looks inviting for a long walk.

Cafe culture © 2015 Stefanjozef
I want to walk into this theatre cafe, settle down into that inviting chair and read a book - with my Leica at hand, of course, to catch a photo like this. Except this was a Contax G with 28mm 🙂

I wasn't sure if this was Duane Michals, or an episode of The Outer Limits. Either way I like it.
