Multiple posts already but it was one my early favorites.

Thanks for the mentions of my photos, very much appreciated.

I missed seeing Bianchi fixie by Howarthp - what a good photo.

Photos I liked this week:
In the Luminous Brooding by robklurfield. Light painting with street lights. I liked the use of negative space to give drama and mood.


Road to Craigowl by Koolzakukumba. Bruce keeps posting the most amazing pictures!


East 6th Street by Mlehrman. The figure could come from another time, adding mystery to the modern city life of the figure in foreground.


Ovan staden när hösten kryper på by mudride. I liked this for its mood. Hitchcock comes to mind..


Untitled by Michael.Roth. I liked the low POV, great expression, composition, and the wild background. Outstanding street shot.


Fence by Joao. I wasn't sure if it's a fence or a gate in the foreground, but it has character and I liked the shadows cast by the stakes, and the lines leading zig zag to the horizon. Nice tonality and grain.


his master's bike by dotur. An Erwitt moment!


Untitled by zeshootist. Interesting expression and the lighting, skin tones and contrast give this portrait plenty of punch.


Untitled by Semrich. Great reportage shot. The two boys are in their own world, apparently oblivious to the camera.


Parking Lot Wall 6 by barnwulf. I learn a lot by studying Jim's eye for line, shape, shadow and composition.

img5011 by paulplaton. Well seen and great timing.


Haven by Kiev Ilegelac. I liked this as an abstract, but also as a portrait of a person without their physical presence.


Times Square by Mlehrman. Graphically amazing shot.


english seaside 1 by brainwood. This is so typically English that I think I'd have guessed which country without reading the title. I liked it as a well observed subject, quite apart from the beautiful grain.


San Francisco #2 by jcrutcher. Almost abstract in the arrangement of shapes, and impressive detail and tones.


Hairy Boob by doomster. A genuine OMG photo.


After the rain - colour by jesse1dog. I like Meyerowitz's colour and to me this has a similar feel.


B-Hipstography_13 by luiman. Dramatic, interesting portrait.


Untitled by Tuna. I liked the almost surreal feeling about this.

Thanks to all who chose to include my photos for this thread, always an honor to be included here and always appreciated.

Here are my picks:

Koolzakukumba, an outstanding photo, worthy of all the comments and the times it was picked to be included here. It has me thinking of some end of time kind of "Mad Max" thing.





2 from jukka:


Love the tones, lines, shadows and the motion of the guy in the best possible place.




I thought this was fantastic, I like shots where the light leads the eye, this does is well.






Tuna, this is not titled, but hovering over it with the cursor brings up "Beauty and the Beast" that kind of sums up a story for it.





mudride, this would make a stunning print.





joao, with this I get to use the ethereal word again, nice tones and composition to go along with it.





marduk, I like how you caught the profusion of flags and the transparency of them, a nice backdrop for the girl.
