What a pleasure it is for me to announce my first 2007 PotW.

The winner is iposiniditos with his stunning image "A guitarist in a lake" and the original post can be found here.

I have given this image full marks for impact and originality.

Congratulations to Theodoros for producing such a wonderful photograph. :D
