Picture of the Week 6 February 2007

Postby Greg B on Mon Feb 05, 2007 10:59 pm

This weeks PotW is from flipfrog (dee).

When I first started getting interested in photography, one area that fascinated me
was the almost magical depiction of light at certain times of the day. Dee has
captured dusk perfectly here with skillful use of the D70, solid pp skills and above all,
a great sense of the moment.

Fine work.

Perfect - as if the photographer had brightness controls for the sky, the boats.... Very nice indeed.

Excellent colours and detail - the exposure is spot on.
Congratulations Dee and well selected Greg.

This is one of the few times where the POTW is exactly the same image I'd have chosen if it was my turn to choose. Congratulations Dee - this is an exceptionally good image from a very gifted photographer. I never get sick of looking at your work.
