My turn for POTW this week and this time around I've chosen an image where I thought to myself "POTW material" the instant I saw it. There were a lot of great images oublished following it, yet when I reviewed the images posted over the last week (and I make sure I look at each and every one) I kept coming back to this one image. Painting with light like this is a challenge for two reasons - first you need the concept and second you need to carry it off. This image by wink has both. Best of all for me is the wonderful 3D effect in the finished image - I see a sphere of light not a disc. Congratulations Adam on having taken the first Picture of the Week for 2010.

WOW! Thanks HEAPS guys! After getting a camera and joining this forum in August i've learnt a lot! Photography is something i've found i really enjoy and i'm looking forward to continuing my learning experience.
Thank you everyone for helping me along the way, whether it be from directly answering questions to just general posts i can read and learn from.

Welldone Wink! Nice one Peter.
This sphere does retain an amazing 3D quality to it... Beautiful background as well.
