Thanks Richard, rjbuzzclick, print44, j.scooter, Jim, John, Peter^, Paul, and Greg for mentioning my photos!


semrich - ****. This is my favourite image in the Gallery this week

filmfan - Last Summer 4. This reminded me strongly of photos of Jackie O in the 1960s. I think the framing is just about perfect. (As an afterthought, I suspect this photo would also look excellent in sepia, or with platinum toning).

astro8 - untitled. Some fine figure studies in Greg's series - here I like how the curves and lines of her lingerie are echoed in the bed frame.

rodfelici: as earlier remarked, superb.

sojournerphoto - POS_1_of_3_. I liked this portrait for its soft bokeh and tonality.

barnwulf - Motel Yard. This has an air of neglect about it - time has stopped and the world has passed it by. You can sense the quietness and almost hear the grass underfoot. Nicely framed, too. Greg mentioned that the empty swing suggests abandonment.

snausages - ***. 'Cinematic' was a comment made under this image, and to me that best describes it.

StefanJozef - The Forth Bridge*. Light, shadow, drama.

zauhar - Pensive. Subject, expression, framing, layers - an excellent catch, including of the photographer

LeicaFoReVer - Negative0-36-37. Story, framing, tonality.

Oldskewl808 - Two and Two. Well seen and executed, a very attractive image.

Mlehrman - 2nd Ave Subway. Looks like it could be all of life's possessions in that bag, if the subject is indeed homeless.

RobKlurfield - Aftermath. This picture tells the end of the story very well, I thought.

hteasley - Dad at 75. Taking a picture of one's father is not always easy. I really like this.

OurManInTangier - Toward Holland. If anyone here is thinking of buying a Gursky I suggest you can instead support an equally talented RFF member.

This thread is amazing, it just keeps getting better. It's a photography lesson each week where you learn what a diverse global community of talented photographers like about other members photos. There are no books that replicate what happens here. That's why I feel it is important to support this thread as well as it's an honor seeing my photos included here.

To the following I want to extend my thanks and appreciation for selecting my photos this week: ferider, hteasley, steve kessel, print 44, pork tortilla, j. scooter, peter^, paulfish4570, and lynnb.
