nrb 'Empty Marina'

Just that, a marina without any boats or any people.

Tuna 'The Menu'

There are two outstanding pictures I would like to mention:

1. OurManinTangier - another north sea surfer

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73205

The first surfer - published on Sunday last week - was great. The second is as georgeous as the first. Simon got the right moment, a perfect picture

2. Telenous - strangers

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73301&cat=all&limit=last7

This is another example of Alkis´outstanding work "on the dark side" of the streets.

TimSki 'Venice barges'
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73290

and Caneletto's version: 'Rio dei Mendicanti: Looking South'
http://www.abcgallery.com/C/canaletto/canaletto1.html

Masterful use of composition, color, and light. And the old painting's not too bad either.

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73241

I've been remiss and not posted in this thread for a while. I've neglected to add to my favourites again so I checked my recent comments for what has caught my eye.

FORMAL with his excellent shot "LEGS" - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73465&cat=fav

TELENOUS with such melancholy in "BROKEN FLOWERS" - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=72996&cat=fav

MLEHRMAN and the stunning landscape "JOANNA & HER DAD, UPSTATE NY" - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73324&cat=fav

TUNA with the amusing "DOG ON WALL" - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73196&cat=fav

and FORMAL again with another cracker "CARD PLAYER" - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73187&cat=fav

Good stuff as always...and as always, I'm sure I've missed some more good images.

EDIT: Thank you very much for a double mention Thomas!

It's been so long since I've seen a good rainy night that this looks inviting.

A nice portrait, gritty and grainy like a man's portrait should be.

Very lovely study of atmospheric perspective. I love the pastel pallet.

There's a great symmetry there, the bicycles are not mirror images but very similar. Even down to the spash of yellow color on each one.

Some of us click on the Recent Photos '1 day' option every day.

We save a photo or two to 'Favorites' ready for the next Gallery Picks thread.

There's usually about three pages of photos a day, so it doesn't take too long to select and comment.
