Here's a companion shot to my last entry. I'm not sure which of the two I like best, but did think this one was sufficiently different to post too.
On another matter: I'm currently trying to pick my best/favourite shots from 2010 – one from each month – so I can post a 'best of 2010' entry on the 31st, much as I did last year. I have some ideas about which shots I definitely want to include, but if there were any that I posted during the last twelve months that you think should definitely make the cut, please let me know. If you want to browse through my entries by month, the easiest way is to go to the main archives page, linked below, then select a specific month using the 'monthly archives' dropdown menu towards the top-right of the page.

I like this one as well as the previous. This one evokes a somber mood in me...for some reason. Nice shot.
As for the favorites, this is against my love of the shore, but I have to vote for the Buzludzha series. They were all such great images of a fascinating place. Don't ask me which one, I enjoy all of your work :)

Hi David, I won't answer in facebook so I don't get many notifications because of later replies :) I like this one more than previous shot. Probably because here the trolley gives a sadder feeling of loneliness (maybe because it's farther from the camera?). Just my opinion, of course.

I like both "versions" of this subject, but would vote for this, the toned B&W, as my preferred.
...and you are so sneaky to ask us to pick your best! I've been trying to do the same to update the portfolio nature of my website...for the past month...and it's impossible I believe to do it yourself. It certainly shouldn't be...but never-the-less, it is a tough row to hoe.

I think I prefer the composition on this one, it gives more of a sense of drama to the scene

I like this one, as well, but I definitely prefer the colors and the brightness of the previous picture. Compared to that, this feels dull.

Tricky. I like the composition of yesterday's shot and the processing of todays. Don't you just hate folks who sit on the fence?
