    The train wheel may not be a beauty shot, but the camera was obviously very close to the ground, depicting speed and danger for Bond as he's hanging under there. It's the unique placements of the camera that interest me most about cinematography.

    The 80’s are an underrated era as far as shot compositions and cinematography are concerned.

    The next one, AVTAK, might be the one that looks the least interesting, but all the others look great and have fabulous atmospheric shots.

    They are all too often considered as too workmanlike, but I disagree entirely.

    OP is a feast of colours and Cold War tension. Shots like “Death of a 00”, “ The Russians meet” or “Chandelier love” are absolute standouts. Marvelous stuff.

    I do think, for me, Peter Lamonts War room set is a winner here, DOP Alan Hume had an easy day there, it looks fabulous!

    Not many visual delights here, though I do like the colours and general vibe of India overall.

    The Dutch plane is great!

    But I can't see pictures No. 1 and 4 (3D Experience and Olyphant shoes). There seems to be a problem with the format.

    Btw, @LucknFate, you probably should reduce your submissions to 5 images. :--)

    @MI6HQ, these two images are missing in the nominations list.

    Apologies quite unnecessary, fellow Octopussy fan! I too appreciate The Aerial Team's wonderful work. ;)

    Not necessarily. Depends how much you tell me about jewellery smuggling.

    Is this the owner of the flower shop from FYEO come to get compensated by MI6 for the damages?

    My vote will actually be for #10... I forgot Magda is in this film and she rules.

    I actually really like this one as well. My vote goes to #10 as well.

    If GIFs were eligible, I'd include this!
