Thanks for your gallery images this week. There were seven images uploaded this week (thanks to all) and 4 were on my "honorable mention" list, so I decided to narrow the honors to just two images..hope that's okay with senior management. 
Happy New Year to all. Time for renewal.

Not sure what the story is here, but there is a story. It borders on being a bit sad ... a solitary person walking in the rain. Who knows? (Probably someone just walking home in the rain, but that's boring.
)
At first, the lease sign bothered me, but it is just a part of the unknown story. The photo lacks color and is dullish which matches the overall feeling. Pleasing composition.

Here my bias is showing..I just happen to like photos of birds flying. However, I like this for a few reasons. The birds are well captured with pleasing wing positions. These gulls seem oblivious to the rough water and the carefree gulls contrast the angry water. I like the random spacing of the gulls and they are "composed" well...one does not compose flying birds any more than one can herd cats. Although the water is "dirty" from the waves disturbing the sand, there is nice backlighting making the water translucent.
