POTW 23/6/09

Postby sirhc55 on Tue Jun 23, 2009 12:51 am

Once again there has been many good photos posted in the past week. But, I had to decide on only one.

My choice was based on two factors, one being the photographers admitted “I‘m a newbie to this type of photography” and secondly the result, an excellent photo.

So, kudos to Bob G for his excellent portrait of Emma.

I don't think we see portraits winning POTW often enough. Really like the photo.

Congrats

Wonders will never cease...

I really appreciate this recognition and thanks for the comments folks.

Well done Bob. Especially when you were jostling for position and are new at the people type shot.
