This weeks prestige selection of POTW comes from our very own esteemed and now famous ;) Rodney - thanks for taking the time to review and selection a image for the worlds best POTW
:up:
excellent choise and very nicely done by Geoff.

OK - not a great deal of images posted in the past week but from them I've come down to two (both monochrome as it happens and both by the same author)

The third image from this comes a close second: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=44440
Image


but my pick for this week is the second image from: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=44441
Image

in both I like the monochrome processing and even the slightly sepia toned processing (which is something I don't do myself)

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

Good photos and good choice!
However, the second photo seems to be repeated and in the portal the thumbnail is of a previous week.

Excellent choice, on viewing that image earlier in the week I also loved the sepia tone, also something I wouldn't normally do. But the risk was taken and it worked magnificently. Well done on yet again another POTW selection!!
