PotW 12 May 2009

Postby Greg B on Tue May 12, 2009 6:58 am

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

DebT wrote:A week full of variety - there was food for thought, magic mushies, emerging bugs,
abstracts on fire, things out of this world, shag on a rock, lovestruck primates,
beautiful babies, and even one that took the cake - literally … and I liked them
all - great 'had to be there' shots capturing moments in time with technical excellence.

So what to choose for POW .. A difficult choice but I have gone with 'Sunrise again' #1 by 'glamy' …
WHY ? - well I simply like it!.

It's something I would be happy to have on my wall, it's easy to look at, interesting, peaceful and
thought provoking . It's technically well executed and something I have not managed to do
anywhere near as well. So now that Gerard has well and truly nailed this subject I'm hoping
we can encourage him to have a go at something new with the same pursuit of excellence.

What a pleasant surprise! I am away for almost a week and I see a picture of mine got selected as POW. That is a really good feeling. Thank you for all the nice comments.
Thanks,
Gerard
