POTW for 26th October, 2010...

POTW goes to Bob G…congratulations.

I like the concept of this photo, because it is so different to other shots I have seen taken at a beach location. Obviously a good amount of time was taken to compose the shot, and is enhanced with clean colours and set off with a beautiful contrasting sky.

I like it too. It is simple and, I believe, very well
framed. The sharpness and colours are superb.
Congratulations to the photographer, and the judge!

Getting down to ground level is not just for a quick prayer 8) Bob has captured a mundane scene in such a way as to take it into the realm of beauty. Well done Bob :up:
