PotW 27 March 2007

Postby the foto fanatic on Tue Mar 27, 2007 10:33 am

I have selected Wendell's series of images from Carnavale in Venice for this week's PotW. (See this post and also this one.)

The image I have chosen (see below) as representative of the series has the lot - eye-catching costuming, terrific composition, and superb lighting technique. I've always been a sucker for imagination and mystery in photography, and this series has both of those attributes in spades.

Image

Congratulations Wendell.

Yup. It wasn't an oversight - I'm having some technical difficulties with my smugmug uploader and Java Runtime that I've just sorted! :)

I can't add to comments I've previously made on this series elsewhere other than to say congratulations on being selected for POTW.
