This weeks choice was very hard considering the quality of pics posted. I would like to mention, before declaring the POTW, the excellent pics of Flatpick’s Gunnadah shots, Phillipb’s book entry and that master of nature Rel’s Blue Spotted Hawker. The photo I have chosen was one of a set that I kept going back to look at and could not leave any critique because I justed wanted to keep looking at them. This photo appears to be a reiteration of Sheepie’s choice last week in that the photo has a timeless appeal, subdued colours (which suits the subject admirably), very Australian and the reply made by the poster to critique left by Gary. I felt that the explanation to the critique showed a depth to the photographer that enhanced the photos even more. This weeks POTW goes to a new member of the forum Gray_T with this shot:  The thread can be viewed here: http://www.dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=36008&p=384293#p384293Congratulations Gray_T

Congrat's Gray. The photo invokes some thought about a past era, when rail and river were the nation's transport options (and horse I suppose). Subdued colours indeed Chris and well selected too.
