ah Esther, interesting idea! So many favourites to choose from and so few not-so ones :)

I thought I'd go for close-ups with hats as a comparision. Guess which is fav and which is not :razz:

Far too many to choose from, but one of my favourites is this one, as it makes one feel happy.

I love that one Abby! In fact -it's so weird - I was actually looking for it recently, and all my searches were fruitless. As you can imagine, googling "Leonard Cohen" and "road" brings up about a billion links and pics. :roll:

Going to post another pair since I'm here. :)

Listen- when I thought of not-so-favorite photos the Marianne hands black and white was the first thing that came to mind- and I couldn't find it. Hahaha.

Tastes are not to be discussed, I don't want to discuss particular tastes of people here, just the photos.

Eeek? Y? Nice body, nice hairs on it. That is great to look at.

It seems that we can't see the littliest sexy hair on the metrosexual males' body these days since the laser enter the male beauty arsenal - It is not because we can do something that we have to do it, guys! : this fashion is appetizing like a cake without icing.

Eeek? Y? Because the facial expression does not fit the out-fit? Maybe... this is not the superficial life-is-light print on the face of the careless beach bum.

It seems that pictures that have a too heavy reference to a certain fashion are not liked the best. The one with the hands and Marianne is in a style fashionable at a certain time. It was hot to take stiff bizarre positions, with fingers apart and fix open eyes in a blank face. I never like this style, because of the facial expression.

This picture below is simply gorgious - Diane you would have win the ring if I was the judge and if there had a ring to win in this thread.

GOoong!!!!

The pictures who are liked the best seem to be the more classic ones. Classics are passing the proof of time.

The little road one (posted by abby, here) used to be my favorite before I see the zen one.

Tchoc I have a feeling it was you who first dazzled me by copying the Mt Baldy picture on the forum in some other lifetime, but thanks for the ring:-)

It seems those two images together - the road one Abby posted and the zazen one, capture the essence of the Man and his work (rather than his physical appearance, not that that is to be dismissed!).

Imaginary's eeek pic is a bit cheesy, gotta say.
