POTW 27 Jun 12

Postby stubbsy on Thu Jun 28, 2012 10:29 pm

Due to lack of time of late the mods and KMs haven't quite kept up with their POTW responsibilities the last few weeks. It was my turn this week, but I've looked over images since the last POTW before choosing the one that grabbed me the most. This shot below is a bit different to many of the images we see here and, while not perfect (the bridge is a bit on the bright side) it's a damn fine image. One thing I particularly like here is we've got the center of the star trails in the image rather than out of the frame somehwere. The original post is HERE

Well done Rodney:

Wow!! This is an amazing image. I love it.
Really well executed and a very different view of a very photographed scene. Well done Rodney, excellent choice Peter!

Now fixed - the thumbnail image needs to be under 30K. The smallest I could get CS6 to make it was 95k so I used MS Paint which made it 7K :shock:

I think astonishing is the word to use here. What a photo! Congrats on an obviously painstakingly skillful made image.
