POTW 11th March 2014 - Selection by Zafra52

[biggerry]

This weeks POTW is brought to you by the enigma..i mean zafra's

Nice choices Zafra and I like you writeup, thanks for taking the time! (note i added the pictures in there and taken the first as your primary selection)

There haven't been a lot of postings this week. But, two photos stuck I my
head for very different reasons.

The first one is Trout3 by Ozimax. I like all of them, what I like of this
particular photo is the unusual angle or framing of the subject, the
concentration of the subject on his activity is very well captured, the
absence of colour distraction adds to the scene and finally it tells a
story well.

The next picture I would like to pick is by Matt's Have you been waiting
long? I like the simplicity of this photo, The colours adds to the photo,
shallow depth of focus used to keep the viewers attention focused on the
subject - a full dirty ashtray. In my case, it produced revulsion and a
mental image difficult to scape. It brought memories of when I smoked and
made me think how awful must have been for those around me. This photo also
tells a story well and also produces an emotion in the viewer.

Nice choice(s), personally I preferred one of the other images in the series from Ozi but it's good to see another win from out of a Fuji :-)
