Canadian rbsinto (is it Robert or Richard) captured this gloomy mood. It's a perfect visual representation of gloom having every bit of light and shadow in just the right place.  Shot on film, no less, and found here.

 

 

I don't normally get excited about photos of flowers but this fisheye contains enough other elements to make it into a surreal landscape.  From Alaska (despite my well known dislike for cold weather) and found here.

1.  Another sky, by Marco Lanciani, here

 

An imaginative take on the sun, beatiful colours, jewel like.

 

 

 

2.  Ron Scubadiver's Illustrated Man, here.  The glaring eye combined with the somewhat aggressive tattoos really make this image.  Not a man I would like to anger.

Hard choices again.

What sticks out is "Another Sky" by Marco Lanciani:

It is puzzling and looks like a different reality!

Congrats Marco.  The image makes me think of the final scene in 2001, Space Odyssey when the mysterious fetus appears.  Thank you Chris and Anthony for the nominations. 

[Marco Lanciani]

WOW! What a beautiful surprise. My first POTW!

I missed the post searching on "new content" and I couldn't believe to see my picture appear on Fotozones's home page after marking everything as read.

 

Thank you Anthony for the nomination and thank you Andreas for the selection.

[Mike G]

Well done Marco.

[FrankF]

Yes. Marko. One of our best. I loved the pic from the start

Congrats to Maco and thanks for nominating my image  (which BTW was captured near Oslo in Norway, not Alaska).
