I think this is a clever composition of what looks like burger boxes. Nice tones and nice pattern. I love it!

BELOW - There is a filmy transparent quallity of the bag that creates a delightful quality of light. I would love to see a well done print of this.

There were so many more great photographs this month the there is just so much time to spend here. Sorry for the beautiful ones that I didn't select. - Jim
 
Petronius. That dove doesn't look real. I have a personal photographic fixation on animals at the side of roads. I think the roadside lines must have an hypnotic effect on me. Anyway, I love this shot.

Dave Lackey. He captures an earth mover cutting into the red Georgia clay with a sky that mimics the color of the clay. And, a gorgeous shot to boot. Glad that Dave has joined us in the Gallery.

Tim Barker. A nice portrait. His subject's position and the way he's lit her eyes are really nice.
U6571I1289542708.SEQ.0.jpg


Jamie Pillers, infusing this abstract work with just enough figurative reality to let us know what we're looking at, but leaving in enough abstraction to leave us wondering. Someone suggested cropping out the foot. I like the foot and I'd leave it in.
U14844I1289542262.SEQ.0.jpg


Frank Petronio: "America's Got Talent." Not a talent I share (the model's ability to suck in that stomach, I mean). This image can operate on many levels from a study in pure form to social commentary.

mario abuyabor. great light.
U39988I1289534375.SEQ.0.jpg


mgeary. that blackboard goes on forever.

Tennessee Jones. Great long shadow. Reminds me of Fritz Lang's "M."
U32171I1289505980.SEQ.0.jpg


pismo 923. he shows us why we're all going to miss Kodachrome.

Many good pictures this week, as always ! I'll post today my 5 color favorites, B&W I'll post in a couple of days...


I like this reportage photo because of the strong emotion it conveys throu the use of the light and the composition: jky, oaxaca

a very simple picture with nice colors: Shelley-Ann, shadows 1

U23444I1289433916.SEQ.0.jpg


Again a simple picture. I like the colors, really watercolor like and the abstract look, with a simple touch of reality. Yes it works well...

The colors which come out from the darkness and the almost abstract look is what interest me here:

My favourite for the week is by cfritze. It seems others like it for the same reason -- beauty in simplicity.

Thank you very much for choosing some of my photographs for this week's gallery picks. I'm quite new to posting my work on the site, and this has been a great encouragement to me. :D
Best regards, Dan
 
My favorite of the week goes to Frank Petronio.

I love this photo because the lone flag is well caught. It takes quite an eye to spy such a detail amongst the hundreds of balconies.
