Picture of the Week 28.02.05

[Glen]

This image was chosen for its composition, showing how well simple elements work together. While appearing straightforward it draws the viewer in looking for more. Or maybe we just liked the bright colours!

Looking forward to hearing the opinions of others.

It was shot by Flipfrog (Dee) and other examples of this series and the thread it came from are here:

I like it a lot. A perfect example of how simple can be better. The colours work well and the composition of the window off centre (which might upset some) is great.

I think that the after noon (or morning) shadows make work well too.

I missed the first thread with this photo so thanks to "Photo of the Week"for bringing it to my attention.

Will all these photos be posted in a galary for us to look through?

A good choice Glen and well done Dee to be the first

As long as the original links remain alive, they will be accessible through this section the forum. There will be just one new thread each week, for each new POW.

Great image.
Strong colours, simple composition.
Well done.
Congratz!

Cheers.

Love the pic for a) the colour and b) the simplicity.

Or I could just start a gallery on Kristine's server and store all the POW's there. I'm tempted to, actually.

[Greg B]

I reckon that would be good Leigh.

[stubbsy]

Congratulations Dee. Well done. I liked this image when you first posted and, despite it's simplicity, it hasn't lost any of its appeal.

[SoCal Steve]

A nice group feature that I'm gonna look forward to each week and a nice, striking choice for this week's award!

[Nnnnsic]

I've added it to the sticky explaining the POTW function in this section, but here it is for anyone if you want to bookmark it.

D70Users.com Picture Of The Week Archive

I'm also storing them on my computer in the order they're displayed just in case Kristine's server dies or whatnot.

Great thought Leigh

You could put them on giulia ... in the same folder where the thumb lives. (I've already put this week's there.)

[Nnnnsic]

Yeah, but this way saves on D70Users.com bandwidth.

[gstark]

I was talking about the archive copies ... just as you were for the ones you were going to copy to your local drive.

[Matt. K]

A fitting image and good choice.

[sheepie]

Have to agree with everyone so far, this is a really nice start to the Photo of the Week archive - well chosen mods

I really like these simple, incluttered pics, especially when they have such striking colour.

[johndec]

What can I say? A most worthy choice. Congratulations Dee

[Deano]

I'm loving this shot too. I like the asymetry of the window on the left and the shade on the right.

Beauty.

Cheers
Dean

I love the idea of having a photo of the week! Makes me want to go and shoot more to strive for that goal! (only in my dreams really!)
Congrats Dee!

So what do the Mods get? An RD-1?

A dribble, with a Sigma lens(e).

[Nnnnsic]

Woohoo! Free crap! It's like getting a free mouse pad for my Trackball!

[mudder]

Congratulations Dee! Very bold, and just shows how captivating simplicity can be when spotted by someone with a good eye...

Cheers,
Mudder

[Catcha]

Nice shot, its like looking in one of those design magazine that gives you ideas on how colour match with patterns.....

[flipfrog]

thanks again to the mods for selecting my work.
what an honour to be the first of the POTW!

there are so many amazing photos posted in the image review forum!
it must be difficult for Glen and Geoff and the other moderators who have to make these decisions....actually maybe its an easy job since there are so many great photographers on this messageboard!

i think this is a great idea...it will encourage us all to go out and make great photos and strive to improve all the time!

good job to the Mods!
and thank you for maintaining such an awesome messaegboard!

Geoff -

Good News - Bad News

The good news is the prize is a D2X.

The bad news is ... they had it bronzed.
