Picture Of The Week - December 12, 2006

Postby Nnnnsic on Tue Dec 12, 2006 4:52 pm

Yes, yes... I'm late. I get it. It's just so hard deciding on an image.

There's 225 pages of images in our Image Reviews area!

And this is one image that I'm proud to say is this week's Picture Of The Week:

Image

Norbs gets the pleasure this week with this stunning and very photo-journalistic view of a slice of life from Vietnam.

Great work, Norbs!

That is an amazing image showing a lifestyle so different than the one we're accustomed to seeing.

Great choice.

JESUS!

Pigs on bikes. It's like being at work :lol:

Good choice, not the usual, but like has been said, it gives us an insight into the lifes of others.

Nice. Great colours and contrasts also.
