Picture Of The Week - August 11, 2009

Postby Nnnnsic on Wed Aug 12, 2009 1:00 pm

Trust Matt to come out with a stand out image following an excellent mini-meet walk.

The lines, the curves, the depth of field, the conversion... generally, just the skill & talent this photographer has makes this my Picture Of The Week.

Outstanding shot and treatment Matt, and a very deserving PotW.

Fine choice Leigh.
