POTW 20/08/08

Some good photography this week and some excellent discussion! Good to see photos getting good positive and constructive negative feedback. This is what we are all about... Some nice model work up there, but I found the shape of some of those girls just a little to scary (not by cup of tea) and while the landscapes and macros were good something else, something very simple caught my eye:

This is nature the artist at its finest! Circles and diagonal lines and vibrant colours, what a winning combination. Congrats Biggerry, original thread here:

fantastic, vibrant colours, slightly surrealist as it the 'rust' looks synthetic :)

Fabulous image, well chosen.
This would look awesome on a large-ish canvas imho.

what can I say... thanks and WOW! Given the high calibre of images from other members that I have looked at over the last week this was outta the blue!

Thankyou all very much for the positive comments - I am definitely going to have to get this one printed out on canvas as suggested.
