Excellent choice by photohiker, if I do say so myself :P

great selection of images and thanks for taking the time to review and select for the POTW

Gerry's Salvation Lies Within is a stunner, and he presented another in Fishing on a carpet of Green and Gold.

Rodney posted an excellent image in Central and Me, seems silhouettes and introspective themes are in at the moment!

Matt followed the self introspection theme with his somewhat disturbing Self portrait in shop window.

My pick is Gerry's very nicely executed Fishing on a carpet of Green and Gold. The combination of light, atmospherics and composition puts me right there. Well done Gerry.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

I agree, great choice! Gerry, be sure to submit the image to some fishing magazines as a potential cover. Pick up a couple of hundred bucks.
Regards
