Pay it forward - Pick and Post... aka - the feel good thread.

Really like the colours on this one, has a really retro feel. Also the DoF is outstanding (if you'll pardon the pun)!

This just jumps out from the selection, the moment captured is fantastic, the framing leaves you wondering, great capture and very nice work.

DK32

I picked this one:


I spent a few weeks working in Casablanca and for this reason it captures everything about Morocco. Love the colours

Cheers,

As they are so prevalent I can't help but pick one of the young ladies;



I like the element of surprise which you've captured along with the innocence of the subject. The tyre offers good framing and the crop is quite appropriate. A memorable occasion obviously.

What's not to love eh?

My gran's favorite flower, I think you captured the delicateness of it so well ! All ways nice to flick through your stuff AnCatDubh

Well worth the vist amazing place but when I was there it was 45oC !!! If your into temples + history the place is awsome.

Deliverance XXV

I had a great time looking through your photostream Gandalf but the one shot that really stood out for me was this one.
I'm loving the shadows and the pattern of shadows > light > shadows > light where your eye is drawn right through the photo.

Even though it is a wax museum model, this is still a great shot , lovely colour tones ..

Right time Right Place.
I remember seeing this photo and thinking WTF about a year ago. Very powerful, but yet so sad. This photo really makes you think in so many ways.
Brilliant

I remember when you posted this one awhile back, loved it then love it now.
The loneliness of it strikes me every time.

Plus, it's a shot of NY and as most people know I'm a American.

I'm not a lover of pictures of pets (even though I've loads of my own) but this one jumps out at you. It's just so cool. I've never seen a dog so laid back as if he owned the whole world. His colouring stands out from the black sofa and the wide angle puts him in your face.




Aaagh! Double post. Sorry folks!

humberklog

I'm very fond of this shot. For a lot of P'a'B's pics there's a gentle natural humour running through them. There's subtle and simple naivety that cuts through this street shot (whether it's in the two people in the background or the guys glance or the woman's vulnerability or all three). This shows how something that catches the eye is often worth taking.

Aaagh! Double post. Sorry folks!

It’s my cousins dog (Red) from Boston and he is so laid back. One morning a dog from the apartment downstairs was up hanging out. She was a lively little thing jumping around the place, always looking for attention. Anyway i was working on some pictures and looked up to see what was going on, the neighbors dog is close to doing backflips and i look over at Red. He was sitting on the same seat. He looks at me and nearly rolls this eyes and deeply exhales and then rests this head on the sofa.

Simplicius

It's hard to select one from so many, I wavered between this and a photostitched Olympus trip that is your trademark. I love the composition in this, That is the strength, great B&W but fantastic imagination to see the shot.

Kintarō Hattori

My apologies the image is so small, all sizes is off in the photostream so it's linked to below.

I really really like this photo, I remember being struck by it when it was posted in the Random thread. I'm not sure what it is that I like about it so much. B&W really suits it as you are completely focused on their faces and not distracted by anything else.
The look of concentration on the womans face and her grasping the arm of her partner really makes you feel that they were listening to/watching something momentus and it makes you wonder what it was.

That's just a bad explanation of why I like it. In reality it's hard to explain, there's alot going on in the photo and it's just a great image.

pullandbang

I like the effect of this tilt shift image of Prague. It makes it look like a model village and the out of focus figure in the foreground even looks like a toy person. I could picture a model train passing by.

shrapnel222

i'm loving this one. the ironic flight for freedom. great colors, great idea

This one, really love the effect of the glass, very clever.

Simplicius

this image is ok, it could be brilliant , a little PP as it is flat and grey and lacking in contrast, why am I criticising it if I picked it for hear you ask...?
Simple ..it shows a good eye, for action, for humans, a crop would improve the composition in my opinon but it still is something that speaks to me as one who grew up in wild west Cork ... and knows this.. so I suppose it is personal. ( you might pop it on a thread if you can face the lions and ask them to see what PP they can do to it... I have seen that here before and it helped people.. I am wrong guy to ask as I am digitally clueless.. to paraphase the old Queen song " you say lightroom ..I say darkroom"

Not sure if this thread has run its course but it was good while it lasted. Some gems revealed in the process and hopefully everyone who took part has learned a little about how others perceive their works. I did say I wouldn't let anyone be last ie. without a comment on their own, so here one from Anthony's flickr and i'm ok with being last - i got plenty of feedback earlier on the thread.



As a study of light and shadow (by candle light), this image is just superb. Taken on film too. I like it lots, well done Anthony.

Snap Happy

Love the texture in this one

Something natural and very playful about this which appeals.

KarmaGarda

This is awesome:




Love the composition of this. Especially the slight off centering of the sun. Colours are amazing too, such a deep orange.

My pix is here

Chorcai

Another great one from Karma. Loving the PP work on this, and how it's slighty and a downward angle; up ward battle or down ward spiral ?

Mycroft H

I like it, it sort of leads your eye into the photo :pac:

homerun_homer

I like the DOF in this one. Nice bokeh image.

big fan of frames within frames. this one works really well, and the fact your reflection has become a graffiti of sorts makes it all the cooler

rymus

discovered on a random jaunt around flickr the other day. It may have been posted before (I'm not going back over 12 pages of great shots) but I thought it prudent to highlight such truly epic work.

Linking instead of including image in post as some may deem it nsfw. I suppose that all depends on what kind of workplace you find yourself in.

ok well wow, for starters your flickr library is huuuuge. so many good photos that its hard to pick just one but there's one that has stood out to me before:


http://www.flickr.com/photos/rymus/40955384/in/set-899038/

I remember coming across this on pixie and was just amazed at what I was looking at. Definitely one of the best photos I have came across on pixie. I love the sense of mysteriousness. Its one of those photos that can leave you scratching your head for hours contemplating ho on earth you managed to capture such a moment

Sorry had a dupe post with snap happy

For a thread that I thought was dead, it has just done the Lazarus on me.

Snap Happy's pix.ie is a young photo stream with some great signs of potential.

I've gone for this one;



Yum is probably the best way of describing it. It's nice and simple, complementary colours, the break in the background I think makes it interesting. Now i'm hungry for cup cakes.

Loving some of the shots you have in your stream. This one jumped out at me. I like anything that has a suggestion of negative space. Nice and vibrant too.

I like this photo alot. As someone who has done alot of travelling alone in airports, it really captures the loneliness of it all. Sometimes the only comfort you have when arriving in a new airport in a foreign country is the standard yellow signage.

I love the shadows and angle.

Note that not all of the pics in the No Drama page are mine and we are very much amateur photographers!! http://pix.ie/nodrama

AnCatDubh

Here's a little gem of a pic. I thought that no drama stuff was all about acting but if you look at the photostream, I think you'd be mistaken to think that it was all about having fun at outings. Hence I like this image taken at an outing / picnic of some sort.



Someone was in mid flight oblivious to the camera so you're getting a natural take. Nice.

My pix.ie if anyone cares to plunder it.

Kintarō Hattori

Trawling through AnCatDubh's photostream I found that his plant/flower photos were the subject I was drawn to the most. I really like the depth of field on the image above. That combined with the strong green and red colours give a very lush look to the photo, almost as if it were a painting.

how do i pick your best image ???????
