POTW 10 Jan 2012

Postby stubbsy on Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:44 pm

This week's Picture of the week is probably the easiest choice I've ever had since I started selecting POTWs - not because there was a paucity of quality images (there were a number of bloody good images this week), but because this one is just so damn creative.

For once I'll not ramble on about my choice and let this image speak for itself. The original post is HERE

the winner of this week. Congratulations

Thanks all, it is nice to experiment and try different things, combined with sharing the process with a few friends to make a combined effort. Tonight we were playing with water drops!!!
