great vernacular shot, alex. i thought the image would show up in the quote so everyone would know which i'm talking about, but somehow, it didn't...
Awesome Curtis. I know these were posted a while ago but I wanted to say that the low contrast look is beautiful and adds to the vintage character!
quite, quite lovely
Some cracking shots in this thread. What a great off topic corner of the forum

Photography is one of my great other passions. www.freester.co.uk if you are interested.
The best? Don't know about that, but I'm thinking this is a decisive moment. I go to a gym where in the lobby there are four very large wood sculptures, kind of like chain saw sculptures; four human figures, two adult men and two adult women in casual clothes. They're about 10 feet tall and looking at them I think how they are in proportion to me as I am to a young child. That's why I like this photo; it reminds me of how it can feel to be a little kid.

I go around town and look at the development. It's said people like to live at transition points: the beach, where water meets land; or the foot of the mountains; or near the edge of the cliff with a view. Well, I'm thinking that a city being developed is full of such transition points, but they are temporal rather than spatial. Here's three shots I've grabbed over the years, usually while riding my bike to and from work.
Regarding the shot of the crane about to chomp the dormer window... for years I took my film to a lab for processing (then I'd scan it and print digitally) and the lab was bulletproof. Meanwhile, for years I'd been looking at this abandoned old shack in my neighborhood, one block from my house, waiting for it to be torn down. When I got this shot I took the film to the lab and it's the only roll they ever goofed up; that's why the image is totally reticulated. Now I don't shoot film anymore.

All 3 photo have a stark, industrial doomed look, difficult to pull off. I like them.
Wait, I remember there is this Plugin I hear a lot about, Alien Skin Bokeh. Might be what you're looking for.
Strictly an iPhone 4S photographer until I can pick up a new DSLR this summer in Japan. This weekend, I captured a few that I liked:
Addison
Commander Quan
Commander Yellow Pantyhose
I took this one this weekend with my wife's point and shoot. For a sub $200 camera it takes some pretty nice pictures.
Some really nice photos in this thread 
A couple of recent ones which I like.

to quibble, this thread started off as pick one shot, right?

true true... but there are so many good shots - why constrain? then we can't admire...
Not to worry! I think most of us use recycled electrons for our postings, so the impact on the environment is minimal.
I can relate to that. I was at the Ho Chi Minh Museum when I came across some professionals shooting a wedding. Saw the moment and took this shot. If only those damn professionals would get out of my way
Nice shot, Fidjit. What focal length is that? Or should I say effective focal length?
