It's time for another amazing round of images that somehow missed our Choo Choo Train. Please take a moment and leave some love for the artists in the comments below.
Lovely black and white. Fantastic composition. Nothing much more I can say! Just a beautiful image I could see hanging on my wall. - Jarrett Hucks

Since i am into editorial style photos too. This catched my eye immediatly. The Skintones and the skin retouching are perfect. It´s true perfection for me. And that image really missed the train only by a hair. - Sven Malojlo
This image evoked all kinds of intrigue for me, the mystery, the feminine/masculine contrasts and a questioning of stereotyping gender by us, the viewers. A lost one in the group with only 7 likes, interested to see more of this persons work! - Amy-Leigh Atkins

I've been thinking for a few minutes of something smart to say about this photo, and I'm still staring at the screen. So, does nice concept suffice? - Max Oishi

The use of light in this image is striking. Great edit. Great mood. The composition is minimal, in a great way, and really focuses on the light and the subject, nothing more. It's excellent. - Jacob Loafman
Oh man, I just love this image. The composition is brilliant. The use of the reflection along with negative space really makes this image come to life, and of course I love the pop of color from the jacket and boots. - Ari Dorfman
I fell in love with this image the second I saw it. There is something special about it. You don't really know what is going on, but you can immediately feel the connection and the atmosphere. - Lukas Piatek

Judging from the attire and backdrop, this couple is getting married and have had their portrait taken somewhere in Malaysia. Considering the current haze situation, if this image was made in the West coast of Peninsular Malaysia, the author has done a superb job. It is not easy to photograph through haze and still capture the details so well. I love the composition, the poses, and the colours. - Julianna Koh Blackwell
