Firstly, some of the photos that grabbed my attention - although I was away alot last week so missed plenty by the looks of things.
I'll start with another cat shot!! I know, shocking.
ferider's Shadow21 - Whilst I'm a big softie for cats this one gives the dog lovers some ammunition when they say cats are aloof, stand-offish and certainly not man's best friend. Perhaps, perhaps not but better watch what you say around them.
Lynn's XA Summer #999 - I could easily have gone for Lynn's bench shot which was superb but this one is just so good to stare at, slowly realising how many patterns and cameos there are to look at.
Shirley Creazzo's Sunrise New York State - a tiny picture but a beautiful colour palette...and a reminder that somethings are just too pretty not to photograph
Semrich's Untitled - Bringing speed, road noise, grinding gears, horns and burning deisel to life
bobbyrap's Zeiss 21/4.5 - The title gives the impression this was little more than a lens test or experiment, the result is so much more.
ChEc's Letter and number sequence ( sorry Chris, I've forgotten what its named ) - Amazing colours and utmost precision in the composition.
Steveh's Underground#1 - This is the London of Mackendrick's The Ladykillers or the Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes movies and I could love it for that reason alone.
finally, C. Poulton's Greenwich Park Couple - I try to avoid commenting along the lines of "just like HCB" or "as if Terry O'Neill took the shot" etc etc, except the first thing I thought when I saw this was that someone had simply posted a Winogrand shot to the gallery. I'm so ashamed
😉 but I wouldn't be if I was Mr C. Poulton.
I know I've missed loads this week but even what I did get to see has been impressive.
Secondly, a big thanks to Lynn, Lluigi, Photony Texas and Tj01 for including my triptych and another nod to Richard; my second week back looking at the Gallery Picks and I'm already finding how differently I look at the pictures during the week and how I'm becoming
slightly less myopic.
Congratulations to all.
