PotW 5 August 2008

This week's PotW has been selected by PiroStitch......Image

to ja_S_on's photo from this thread.

Image

The photo portrays the serenity of an early morning perfectly. Composition and conversion are spot on and the path leads
the eye into the distance leaving the viewer wondering what's further down and wanting more.

Honourable mentions for Oneputt and RDW, respectively as well.

Oneputt - Shows the diversity that we sometimes forget about this continent of ours.

RDW - The DOF and exposure are spot on. Would have been difficult getting the shot right from another plane.

Well done Jason!

Now you've got a strike rate probably like no other in this forum. keep it up.

I also like No. 3 immensely as well. Nearly monotone, but just a hint of colour.
