PotW 19.02.2008 Year of the Rat

[Glen]

This weeks Picture of the Week is a portrait by Craig (Alpha 7) taken while he was in Egypt of his guide Mohamed. As you can see a startling shot, partly due to the surprising blue eyes but also to the delicate treatment given this shot by Craig. A great image for our first after the Chinese New Year break.

Great shot and well done on the subtle PP.

I immediately thought POW when I saw it, a real standout.

Thank you Glen and everyone that has commented, I don't think I can take too much credit for the shot, it just presented itself and I pressed the button. But I do appreciate my second POTW, (seems like I need to go overseas each time to get one :) ).
Shame I don't have any contact details for Mohamed, I'm sure he'd get a kick out of being a celebrity on here :)

Congrats Craig! Great photo and well picked!

Doesn't matter whether or not the shot was planned, what's important is that you seized that opportunity when it presented itself.
