POTW 15 11 11

Postby stubbsy on Tue Nov 15, 2011 7:21 pm

This week there was a slew of images from Sydney members for sculptures by the sea and, despite some strong contenders from elsehwere, one of those images is my choice as Picture of The Week. The image below is one of a few from different members using the same subject and, I suspect, all taken around the same time. This one grabs me because of it's composition. Looking up at the sculpture adds some menace and makes for a strong image (I see a wild boar ready to attack). I also prefer the reworked version part way down the post (which is here) over the original. Congratulations Rodney.

I'd also like to commend whoever came up with the idea for the light painted "liquid" from the tap which featured in posts by a few members. Very creative.
