Picture of the Week 2 February 2010

Congratulations to Biggerry, for the cropped version in "Processed Coogee Fire Night Images":

Image

An elegant arrangement of elements. I particularly like how, although I believe flash was used, the light looks so natural. A great capture. It makes me think of a fiery Whirling Dervish.

I'd also like to acknowledge Bindii for "Fetish shots.. not work safe.." and Leek for "Eyelashes". Both of you have some great images there.
