I went out this morning to the back yard and started taking pictures of the shapes and shades of green. I stroke me that the graceful curves of the Canna Lily leaves seemed similar to the abstracts of the female nudes of that the f64 group types did "back in the day". There is a whole series (along with a green tree frog and uber red cardinal). Please enjoy

The winner this week was Karsaa with "Parisien love locks."

While there were several in contention, Karsaa's image made be ponder, "How did this tradition start? How long has it been going on? Are there multiple examples of this on the same fence?"

I also like how the photographer created a much more unique view of Notre Dame (than I've been used to seeing) where the view of tourists - or rather their impact on the image - is minimized.

Close in the running for me were Joel Eade's "GBH" and bludeman's "A Costly Mistake."

Congrats Karsaa, neat perspective, well done.

Thank you. Have to say that the biggest issue i had last week on paris, was the amount of selfie taker's where ever i went. Versailles was worst, reallly hard to get shot without somebody on taking selfie or getting to your line in last second.

Congratulations Karsaa!

Congrats
