Picture Of The Week - October 17, 2006

Picture Of The Week - October 17, 2006

Postby Nnnnsic on Tue Oct 17, 2006 12:29 pm

Too many photos, not enough selections... I get one selection a week.

This was made all the more difficult because there were some brilliant photos this week. Daniel_R had some beautiful open photos and Willy Wombat had some incredibly eye-popping 3d-sorta-feel flower images.

But then this was posted while I was browsing last night...

Oh man... do I even have to say what it is I like about this image?

I mean just look at it! Look at it!

Great shot, brilliant colour... it's like black & white... but not!!!

Great work kenny12!

Sorry Kenny, not my cup of tea.

Congratulations to both: the photographer for a very interesting picture (now how did you do that?) and the judge for selecting it.
