Picture of the Week March 01, 2011

Firstly, apologies for a late response from me - sadly I don't get nearly as much time on here as I use to and when I come back to select for POTW I have been pleasantly surprised that the forum seems a little busier than it did a few months back which is great.

Anyway, I just love the image I've selected. This week I've chosen a truely awesome image by Marc, from his recent trip to Kenya/Tanzania - 'The Ostrich Sunrise'. The sillhouette effect of the animal and the stark contrast we see with the colours in the sky really make this image stand out.

For anyone that missed it - the original post is here.

And, here it is. Well done Marc!

Doesn't take away from the impact of the image, but, wow, I didn't realise it was 2 weeks ago!

Great choice.


I don't think the pick has to come from just the previous week.
