POTW 25/5/10

Postby sirhc55 on Tue May 25, 2010 1:27 am

As per usual there were many pics worthy of POTW but as the Highlander would say “there can only be one”

This week we have the apprentice to the master - when I first saw the pics posted by photomarcs I was blown away by the ethereal look that he had obtained. A classic female air of mystery. The mere fact that the lady herself is slightly out of focus adds to the feel of this photo.

Well done photomarcs

Congratulations! It's a lovely dreamy feeling to it.
I also like the pastel colours and the composition.

Haha thanks mate, I doubt that in 6 months that will be me, but thats my goal for the start of the new year, which is about 6 months away! wohoo! Can't wait to get more images to add to my portfolio, though i feel as if it's competent enough =)
