POTW12-Apr-2016

This weeks pic of the pack is by bigsarg7 and an easy winner it is. The landscape just draws you in and doesn't let go. The boy fishing as if he is on another planet and the only being in the universe. And how important to the composition of this image are those few green pixels of the boys shorts! The image would not be nearly as successful if they were blue or grey. The composition too is very interesting....the lines of the waters edge and the cliffs all lead the eye to the miniscule boy fishing, yet take him away and the image would collapse as it would have no focal point. And one other factor that this image inspires....I want to be there. Well done bigsarge7!

Wow, thanks so much for recognising this photo, I hadn't thought it would ever get POTW, but thanks again. Its definitely an image that will be hung around the house somewhere. Now to decide if it will be a canvas, metal, acrylic or a standard print of the image.

Your kind words mean a lot. Thank you again.
