PotW 11 April 06

This week's picture of the week is an image that grabbed me the moment I saw it. It's by Matt K and is one of a series of great images from his outing to Bare Island, but was definitely the standout shot for me. It's a shot of something many people would just glance at, yet Matt has produced a great image from it.

Here's part of what I said in the original post which pretty much sums up my views on this superlative image:

This image shows a fine eye for composition and a keen eye for extracting every nuanced detail from a scene. There is so much lovely detail there to explore yet the placement of the Cannon anchors both the scene and the eye.

Congratulations Matt.

I wish each and every one of you a safe and enjoyable Easter break. May you return refreshed and with a wonderful array of images to share with your fellow forum members. And keep clear of the chocolate

I thought POTW when I saw it as it was my favourite shot from the last week.

As Stubby has already said...what a great eye...well spotted, great composition and light. Congrats Matt.

[Greg B]

I missed this too, great work Stubbsy, inspired selection.

Matt, that is one powerful shot, really something. Congratulations on a very well deserved PotW.

Well done Matt - a very different image, one I missed originally as well. Good choice Peter.

I also missed it first time around - sorry Matt, as I always open anything that you have taken.

Very unusual shot because of the subject matter, but rich with detail and lovely warm tones. Great image.

Well selected, Mr Stubbs.

Congratulations Matt. Lovely image and a commendable choice Peter

Showing off my geek heritage - this looks a lot like the perspective and colour of Doom. The cannon will do as the weapon, and perhaps rolling down an abandoned mine shaft in a little rail cart (not from the game, but the way the imagination lets this work).

Thanks for the memories MattK.

[Glen]

Very nice Matt.







Good choice Stubbsy

Congrats Matt, an interesting and unusual image that is well-deserving of POTW.

Like Trevor I missed this one first time around, but it is certainly a deserving winner Matt.

[Slider]

Congratulations Matt. A well deserved win and an outstanding image

[leek]

Nice one Matt... How to make something out of nothing... (as usual)

Pity that the cannon was slightly off centre, but that's hardly your fault...

We nearly came down to La Perouse on Sunday (and would have if we'd known that the festivities were happening), but settled for Coogee instead...

Great POTW

Hi John
I didn't know the re-enactment was happening. I just stumbled onto it....which is kinda how I operate through most of my life.

[Manta]

Congratulations Matt.

Hi Matt,

I just wanted to add my congratulations to all the others. A great photo, and as already mentioned, of something most of us would just glance at.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's efforts over easter - can't promise to stay away from the chocolate though Stubbsy.

Well done Matt. Chalk up another for a good photographic eye Interestingly constructed image.
cheers

Great shot Matt, agree with Heath that this bares a striking resemblance to some of the textures found in FPS games such as Doom, Q3, Unreal etc

My only gripe is that I would of liked to have more of the bottom of the cannon as it looks cut off?

[Potatis]

Great shot Matt, I like this very much. Congratulations!
