POTW for 29th June, 2010...

Postby fozzie on Tue Jun 29, 2010 8:23 pm

PotW has been selected by DebT...

Theodoros captured my attention with this shot , it's simply thought provoking, different, arty and an interesting interpretation of the traditional 'pure' bride concept in what can be a very real environment for some. While it's not something I would necessarily like in my wedding album I like the colours, lighting and grungy feel and would happily display as an art print. I's my pick this week simply because it's challenged me to step outside my comfort zone and think about trying something new.

The Greek connection wins again with a superlative shot. Congratulations to Theo (a name to look out for in years to come) and to Deb for this superb choice.

Congratulations! What I like of this shot is that
is clearly planned and its use of contrasting
elements.
