Where has the year gone??? Can't believe it's November already - and my turn for POTW again! When I know my turn is coming up, I tend to avoid looking at any pics until it's time to choose - that way I don't form any opinions until all the possible candidates are in. I then spend some quality time going through all the Images posts from the last week and shortlist a few - and then gradually narrow it down to one I like. Usually, there's at least two I find it hard to pick from - and this week is no exception... First, and honourable mention to biggery for the first pic in this post: http://www.dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=40173 - the balance in this pic, along with the tasteful light painting, really makes a nice image. But the one I've chosen for this week is this one:  http://www.dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=40159Well done Tommy - the simple lighting and totally relaxed feel combine nicely in this image and, to me at least, you've captured a moment in time that is extra special. What is it with sleeping animals that makes them so enticing? *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
