PotW 2 December 2008 - blacknstormy

Postby the foto fanatic on Tue Dec 02, 2008 8:18 am

Our guest PotW selector this week is our resident expert on creepy-crawlies, blacknstormy, aka Rel. Rel's own photos have delighted us over a long time, and she approached her task with her usual exitement and good humour:
Wow - select a photo for POTW Trevor said - 'have fun' Trevor said - I don't think I've ever agonised this much over chosing my favourite photo for the week ... but I've never had to post which photo has been my favourite either I had a tough time - so many great photos - fantastic macros, great panos, landscapes and portraits .. but I just keep coming back to this photo by Iposiniditos. It has been a pleasure seeing Theodoros' photos evolve and grow - and this shot has such a timeless quality, the attitude, the exposure - I love it So, the POTW goes to Theodoros

A huge thanks to Rel for continuing the role of our guest PotW selector.

Rel you have chosen a photo that epitomises, for me, the classic look of excellence - Theo you are a well deserved winner for your POTW

Congrat's Theo, yes, classic (1960s?) is the look, well done. A different image for the POTW this time and well spotted Rel.

Colin,

Please restrict your comments to the images. :)




Oh, you were ....

Yes, these was a particularly nice group of images, and Theo has done particularly well, as has Rel in her selection.

I love it. A good photo is all about how it makes you feel... or forces you to feel something.

I feel good :)

Great choice.

first glance at the smaller image and I thought it was a Beatles Album cover!

I too like it for its classic look and feel. A memorable era those 60's!!

Great choice Rel and great capture Theo.

Cheers

Whew - I'm stoked that I was asked to pick, but it is one scary prospect - I'm glad that you guys agreed with me :)
Congrats again Theo :)
