It seemed to be a slightly slimmer week for gallery postings this week, but the quality was as high as ever. So it was still a tough job to make a selection, the results of which are:
Honourable Mentions go to:
Scania: Traeth Mawr panorama
Everything that you could want in a panoramic landscape. Beautifully composed with a multitude of lead-in lines as well as the colours and landscape naturally drawing your eyes from left to right. And the ND filter has softened and smoothed the sea and sky to great effect.

Sepiana: Shades of Blue
Simplicity is sometimes everything and what I really admire in other photographers is those that can pick out a beautiful image from amongst the humdrum. And this is a wonderful example of that. Repetitive lines, variety of geometric shapes and great tonal range and textures.

Tpgettys: Ah, Tokyo, my hometown!
Made me laugh out loud when I first saw it, which is always a great reaction to have. I really like how you've blended the images by softening the streetscape to fit with the fantastical image of the lizard.

And my Image of the Week is:
Sydney: Last Surf of the Day
I'm a sucker for a great silhouette, and this is a really great one with the sparkling backdrop and beautifully defined shapes, really evocative and memorable image.
