Thought this would make for a good trifecta to the "Pick Your Favourite" and "A Voting Game!!!" threads.

So, no excuses ... whether you vote or don't ... whether you feel 'we' have stroked each others' egos enough (or in my case have no more entries in your gallery to choose from :oP) and shy away from posting to the "Pick Your Favourite" ... suggest away ... and I am going with +TRACYJTZ as a first. :o)

A highly talented and creative artist.

Well, I just shy away from it because linking is too much like work, for me.

*wonders if this thread is destined to go off to college sooner than anticipated*

*tear starts to form in the corner of his eye ... *

The idea here was to introduce an artist that may not be well known to those that populate the offtopic threads and/or read our silly shenanigans.

One more, before I start to look into scholarships and bursaries for my 'little guy' ...

Perhaps, I am showing some bias here ... as the original photos I came across were of my native land ... have a look at falki's galleries.

OK, I'll bite: One of my all time favourites, but he's not around that often any more so some may not have had the privelige... Yenom.

PS just for fun, see if you can figure out where his user name comes from.

Money. Reversed?

One of my favourites of Yenom's.

A excellent choice Sam.

Ohhhh Jerry? Have a look. I think we found your alter ego.

Okay Les, here is my pick..just for all of us! :=)
samarn
Check out his gallery. He has some amazing images to feast your eyes upon. You can even see Santa's reindeer while there ;=)

smarn's galleries.

Danke Mimi. :o)

Indeed a great choice, as I have come across his work many times and am most impressed.

Hey Les...that pic of Yenoms was the first pic I downloaded to my computer from here. I love it.

Yenom was a favorite of mine .. since I lived in Colorado for a time

I've never heard of Yenom (shows how much i scroll through the galleries)! I loved that flower in the desert pic...

Just came across this relative newcomer and his work to date in a short time is most impressive.

Have a look at jma's galleries.

And I want to mention another underrated artist, first brought to my attention by Keith. Guaranteed to pluck an emotion or two out of you.

Tomcatrenar's works.

I am not sure I understand if we are really suggesting the best of the best in our opinions?
There are SOOOOO many artists here / photographers, etc
I could never choose just one...but I did just see a shot that made me
stare wide eyed and slack jawed.....
plummet

That's a beautiful shot Terri.

To clarify, I added this thread to highlight artists' galleries that may have caught 'your' eye. Not as a result of having seen them in the voting booth, nor from a previous posting on the "Pick Your Favourite" thread.

The best of the best? Doesn't have to be ... subjective as art is ... the purpose here is to introduce artists that may not be as well known, but, still have some exemplary works in their gallery.

In short ... to increase their exposure and awareness to other members. Simply put.

Robert (&trisbert) is ... however, one of the best of the bests, without question. :o)

Here is another relative new member, who typifies my words above ... ederyunai's galleries.
