This weeks excellent POTW selection is brought to you by ChrisK (Rooz), thanks for taking teh time to have a look and select a cracker of image. Well done Piro and great to see your images gracing the forum again.

yeah c'mon   Rooz wrote:I was pretty much set on my choice for POTW choice a couple of days ago. it was going to be another Gerry image...Salvation lies from Within found here: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=44366It is a beautifully constructed image on so many levels. Gerry you've been knocking them out of the park...i am in awe of you mate.  but just to make sure gerry didn't get too big a head, mercifully at the last minute i was mesmerized by the elegance and timeless feel of PIro's tango image. what a freakin cracker of a shot !! the fact that there is one element in rapid motion that was caught by the photographer at exactly the right moment when everything else is stationary is an art unto itself. for anyone who has attempted tango, one knows it is a dance of fluidity and dramatic pause. both elements are captured here is one frame. the lighting is superb, the framing is spot on. and to top it all off...the boomified contrasty tones mixed with the grittiness and that oh so beautiful grain made me want to shoot Tri-X IMMEDIATELY. well done Piro !! viewtopic.php?f=18&t=44379
