POTW 13.05.08

Bloody hell guys...can you all just stop posting amazing quality images?
Seriously though, I took about an hour just going through and deliberating over my decision before selecting this week's 'winner'...

Bob G...you've been getting out into your environment and coming up with some cracking shots, hats off to you mate!

I just loved this series you posted and despite your own findings, on my monitor, in my home I just loved the second one..amazing contrast of colours and depth!! The series is great, but the 2nd image really stood out to me.

The menacing clouds, and the tranquility of the foreground just make this beautiful!!

Without further ado, the image;

Image

Congratulations to Bob!! And yes, I know Bob was selected last week, but I believe his image really stood out...complain to me via PM and your membership $$ will be returned.
