POTW 15-03-2016

I have chosen this pic by sirhic55 because of its unsettling realism....deep perspective and wonderful technical quality. When I gaze at this image I feel as if I am really there....looking at the park from a window. It has a strange sense of foreboding, or impending danger that makes me feel slightly uncomfortable. I like! Well done Chris

It's an image of a surprisingly ordinary scene. And that's exactly why it's so good.

Great pick, Matt. Great image, Chris.

Congrats. Imagine how good an image this would be if it was Coffs Harbour... :biglaugh:
