Swallow the tracks, swallow the train by Dialed-in!

Swallow the tracks, swallow the train by Dialed-in!


Nominated by PKski

"I'd like to nominate one of my favourite Flickr photographers, Dialed-In! to the blog. I usually get a sore neck just looking at his photographs so I'd hate to see the state of his neck with all those neck-breaker shots he takes. Love his urban landscapes showing not only buildings and architecture, but lots of repetition shots, graffitti and of course his macros. But this image stands out as one of his best with its great perspective, foreground detail and vanishing point that seems to blend the trains with the tracks. Great work Jonathan."

For those of you who think Jody (dog ma) does only pets (dogs) and flowers, I have news for you. This girl is amazing at whatever she chooses to do. She can do the most amazing HDR and black and whites. I nominate this b&w from Jody because:
1) it has perfect framing
2) perfect exposure
3) amazing details and depth

It reminds me of vintage Jody and how I long to see more of her work in diverse areas as these!

Profile Smile

Profile smile by emadivine

Nominated by Space Ritual

"As much as I enjoy the look of serenity on the subjects face what sets this photo off for me is the trace of a smile on the young lady in the back ground. Almost mischievous like you know she wants to crack a joke or something.

Not only is it a great seasonal image, but there is something very touching about the dusting of snow on the little pine tree. I like the way the image is composed.

Nominated for The Pinnacle Blog by Anderson Fang

Upon see this image I can't help imaging I was one of the three people. Those grains look like drifting sands in the air, and I can vividly feel the pain while the harsh wind hits my face. Ouch!

The composition is unorthodox and extreme, and that's how the ambiance is revealed. By marginalizing the ground (the only border here) and eliminating colors, the atmosphere plays the leading role. Saúl amazingly catches the "air" so well. Although the elements are few, none of them can be expelled. Without those thin clouds (?) the sky will be dull, and without the silhouettes the image becomes lifeless. It might look simple, but to make it is totally a different story.

Nominated by mksfoto

"Have you looked at a photo and wondered how it was done. And when it is explained to you, you go "I could have done that". Sure you could, but you didn't. It takes sheer genius to use simple everyday things and put it to such a creative use that it stretches the imagination."
