PotW 9 June 2009

Postby Greg B on Tue Jun 09, 2009 8:35 am

The Picture of the Week this week is from Stubbsy.

This one struck me as soon as I saw it, and each subsequent viewing just reinforced
my first impression - a beautifully seen study of shapes and lines, expertly captured
and processed. The B&W treatment complements the image and highlights the
range of geometry within the frame.

Actually, the colour version is a treat too. You can see it HERE
With colours like those, I probably wouldn't have thought of going B&W, but I guess
that is all a part of why Peter has produced this week's PotW. He did think of it.

Outstanding.

Wow thanks for choosing my image Greg and to the others for your kind words :oops: This is my second POTW this year and both have been black and whites (the other was my SOH image on 16/4) maybe I should just give up on those colour photos :roll:
