	Low Key Nude by Peter Bilous Peter Bilous is a frequent exhibitor at Image City, and his current display in the Neuberger Gallery highlights his wide-ranging approach to photographing the human form. Alongside Low-Key Nude, his exhibition includes an intimate composition of a model curled into a narrow stairwell, a sculptural pose draped over weathered driftwood, and a mysterious figure walking toward a glowing exit sign. Together, these images reveal Bilous’s interest in how bodies interact with space—whether confined, extended, or in motion—and how mood and environment shape interpretation. In Low Key Nude, Peter crafts a classic low-key portrait that balances elegance and restraint. In such a study, the photograph is built around predominantly dark tonal values and highly controlled lighting, allowing form to emerge from shadow with dramatic subtlety. The model’s seated, turned posture creates a graceful S-curve through the spine and legs, emphasizing form without exaggeration. Her lowered gaze and contemplative expression introduce a quiet emotional tone, inviting viewers to sense introspection rather than performance. Soft, directional lighting shapes the shoulders, back, and long lines of the legs while allowing the background to recede into darkness. This isolation enhances the photograph’s minimalist aesthetic and gives the figure a sculptural clarity. The draped pedestal anchors the composition, adding structure without distraction. Overall, Low Key Nude shows Peter’s sensitivity to line, shadow, and gesture, making it a strong and contemplative centerpiece within his exhibition. By Dick Bennett
	Bird Groomer by Boris Keller Boris has provided us with a striking, character-rich street-style image. The dog resting inside the shop window instantly becomes the emotional anchor of the scene—calm, slightly melancholy, and wonderfully expressive. The reflections, colors, and layers make it visually complex in a compelling way. The dog is perfectly placed. Its relaxed posture and direct gaze create an immediate connection. It feels like a quiet moment in the middle of a busy urban environment. Street elements blend with the interior of the shop. The mix of inside/outside worlds gives the photograph a painterly, almost surreal quality. The reds, yellows, and blues—especially the barber pole—give the image a vibrant, almost cinematic look. The warm tones of the dog contrast nicely with the cooler reflections. The dog sits near the center, framed naturally by the window frame and the red vertical edge, drawing the eye immediately. The barber pole on the right creates a nice visual counterweight. The image almost resembles an illustration or digital painting. That’s a unique strength. Borris often makes these evocative photographs with strong emotional pull and a great sense of place. By Don Menges
	White Out – Teton Village, Wyoming by Tom Knauss This photograph, titled White Out and shot in Teton Village, Wyoming, is a masterclass in restraint. The composition reduces the scene to its essential elements — a single tree and a cart with a horse and dog — and lets negative space do the heavy lifting. The result is a quiet, almost meditative image that rewards slow looking. The photographer’s commitment to minimalism is the work’s defining strength. By excluding any competing details, the frame becomes a study in silhouette, line, and tonal subtlety. Every element that remains feels deliberate: the tree anchors the composition, while the cart, horse, and dog introduce a human narrative without crowding the scene. Simplicity here is not emptiness but clarity. The broad expanses of light and the sparse arrangement focus attention on texture and shape, inviting the viewer to imagine the cold air, the hush of snow, and the stillness of the landscape. The title White out resonates throughout the image, amplifying the sense of isolation and purity that the photograph conveys. This is a photograph that proves how much can be said with very little. Its power lies in omission: by removing distractions, the photographer creates space for mood, memory, and quiet storytelling. In both concept and execution, the image is an elegant tribute to minimalism and to the austere beauty of the Tetons. By Steve Levinson
	Clown Fish Nudibranch by Cyrille Rio Clown Fish Nudibranch, by Cyrille Rio, is one of 10 images where we are invited into the dazzling intimacy of the underwater world. The fish’s inquisitive gaze, while nestled within the protective embrace of an anemone, draws the viewer in instantly, as though the creature is meeting us eye-to-eye across two very different worlds. Cyrille’s use of underwater macro photography elevated this image beyond a simple depiction of marine life. His precision allows us to experience every delicate detail; the soft translucence of the anemone’s tentacles, the luminous glow at their tips, the velvet texture of the clown fish’s fins and the perfect balance of light without disturbing its natural serenity. Collectively, the series reveals an astonishing world of tiny species that thrive in a fragile hidden universe. Clown Fish particularly stands out for its combination of technical mastery, color harmony and emotional immediacy. It reminds us that beauty in nature can be both bold and delicate, and that even the smallest beings possess a presence worthy of reverence. For its vibrant storytelling, meticulous craftsmanship, and its power to inspire wonder for the often-overlooked inhabitants of the sea, we are pleased to recognize Clown Fish Nudibranch as a Gallery Pick.

	Old Oak Tree in Fall by Burt Segelin Burt Segelin’s Old Oak Tree in Fall is a quiet, contemplative portrait of endurance—an image that invites the viewer to linger, breathe, and feel the weight of a season turning. Standing alone in a soft veil of morning mist, the oak rises into the sky, its branches spreading outward in a graceful tangle of lines that read almost like calligraphy against the sky. Burt’s restrained, warm-toned palette gives the photograph an unmistakably nostalgic character. It feels like a memory—one of those fleeting moments when the world is hushed, the air is cool, and a familiar landscape reveals itself in a new and tender way. The gentle haze softens the distance, allowing the viewer’s eye to drift past the textured bark and delicate twigs toward the fading field beyond. Subtle details, such as the faint posts emerging from the fog, add depth and a sense of place without competing for attention. Technically, the photograph showcases Burt’s control of mood and atmosphere. His exposure balances the intricate detail of the tree’s silhouette with the quiet luminosity of the mist, creating an image that feels both grounded and poetic. The composition—centered yet dynamic—gives the oak a calm authority, as though we are encountering a figure of great wisdom. For its lovely simplicity, emotional depth and beautifully executed interplay of form and atmosphere, Old Oak Tree in Fall deserves a Gallery Pick. By Marie Costanza
