'Gallery Picks' is just a bunch of us giving a heads up to what we have seen during the past seven days at RFF that we like.

There's no membership requirement, no criteria (except past seven days), no voting, no limit to the number of photos we mention, and everybody mentioned is a winner.

Anybody can start the thread on a Monday morning.

Anybody can join in.
 
National Gallery, London by joshuar:

There's been a lot of good constructivist, abstract and highly geometrical photography this week. It's one of these things I have a perverse liking for. This shot was one of the best.

As far as I'm concerned this was probably the best picture this week. A great moment, excellent execution, amazing visual expression with the raindrops and the faces. Outstanding.
 
Crazy Paving, Crazy Painting by Pitxu:

I like this a lot. Nice textures and good colour contrast. Everything radiates this cozy kind of shabbiness. The fact that there's no two parallel lines in the picture would have distracted had the sujet been anything else, but here it works nicely. We see too little colour work on RFF.

Terge 'harwich_harbour'

A view of Harwich (from a ferry?) in the rain. Typical situation, great photo.

kully 'England III'

I think he didn't have the right lens to get the whole car in the photo.

Thanks for the mention Jon.

I thought it would be better without the whole of the front in the frame, I wanted the 'Austin' insignia to have more import.
 
A selection of the few out of the many I noticed this weeK:

A conjuration of so many leitmotifs of a heist movie. Stylish, smart, and so very cool. (my pic of the week)
- Time to move on, Adonf

A landscape bordering on the abstract
- img2371, Petronius
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=77921&cat=all&limit=last7

The remains of national pride.
- Old glory, jfujita
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=78096&cat=all&limit=last7

A superb recreation of a '20's photoshoot
- 1923, Telewatt
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=78189&cat=all&limit=last7

Smart and funny, a play of an image upon an image
- Too close, even for chuck. Agi
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=78230&cat=all&limit=last7

So very pleasing to view, as you connect the dots that make this picture to give it a pattern and an undercurrent meaning.
- Untitled, Tuna
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=78223&cat=all&limit=last7

Superb environmental portrait, large negative, lush tonalities and a quirky personality
- Bird man, Chambrenoir
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=78288&cat=all&limit=last7

Perfectly caught a moment of tentative loneliness and suspension from reality
- Lunch time, Sinetsin
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=78281&cat=all&limit=last7

Tender and intimate.
- Putting on socks, Shac
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=78343&cat=all&limit=last7

Gorgeous light embracing the young lad. So peaceful.
- Night light, Monz
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=78509&cat=all&limit=last7

I half-expect the camera to pan upwords and give us a glimpse on Oddjob. Perfect exposure, and concetration on the all-important detail - the bowler hat.
- Untitled, Simon
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=77911&cat=all&limit=last7

So many great images this past week, thanks for sharing, best of light to all for this coming week. :)
 
minoltist7 'Agfa APX test'

It's a nice photo and I'm sure she likes it.

What makes it a 'Pick' is the title.
