POTW for 9th August, 2011...

Postby fozzie on Wed Aug 10, 2011 7:56 pm

I have selected this image due to the composition; unfurling of the rose bud petals together with texture and lighting, providing rich colours and sharpness throughout. Congratulations to zafra52.

No, it won't help much: a lottery is based upon luck. And bad math.

Your PotW award is based upon your skill and technique.

Well done.

After viewing zillions of flower photos, this one is a standout for the above mentioned reasons. Congrats Zaffs.
