Picture Of The Week - March 11, 2008

Each week, one of the moderators or administrators selects an image that, for whatever reason, catches their eye. Please feel free to add your comments here. Vigorous discussion of the images and techniques is welcome and encouraged. Criticism of any mod for their choice is not. Please note that this is "Picture of the Week"; do not confuse that with "best picture of the week", which is a concept of which we have no understanding.

Picture Of The Week - March 11, 2008

Postby Nnnnsic on Tue Mar 11, 2008 7:24 am

Aloha! While I don't get as much time on the forums as I'd like anymore (work... grumble grumble jazz singer grumble), every so often there are some images that really grab me. And while I'm frantically looking for brilliant images on a Monday night because of all the stuff I've missed (and I miss a lot), last night one stuck out that was so brilliant I yelled "that's the one"... or I did in my head, anyway.

This is that one...

The original thread is here and congratulations to cobby1 for getting Picture of the Week this week. :)

Fabulous image! I like the reflections. And a great choice too! Congratulations!
On the light side, I must have taken an awful lot of water and time to get this image.
