Picture of the Week - January 17 2006

Each week, one of the moderators or administrators selects an image that, for whatever reason, catches their eye. Please feel free to add your comments here. Vigorous discussion of the images and techniques is welcome and encouraged. Criticism of any mod for their choice is not. Please note that this is "Picture of the Week"; do not confuse that with "best picture of the week", which is a concept of which we have no understanding.

Poon - congratulations on a very well deserved POTW.

I checked our site often and saw all POW are so nice and I am shameful
of mine to be the one.


You should be proud, you saw, you shot and you shared :) This shot sent shivers down my spine, and that's what a photo should do - involve the person looking at the shot ... and you did that admirably.

Well done :)

Terrific. This image gets better the longer you stare at it. Spooky, steely eyes.

Well done Poon.
