Picture of the week - May 3, 2005

Postby gstark on Tue May 03, 2005 8:24 am

NetMagi's Carriage house does it for me this week.

I love the subject, and the use of B&W suits the subject perfectly.

Well done, and congratulations.

Congratulations to NetMagi. It's a very engaging image that I'll bet we all keep in our memories. It's just that kind of picture. :wink:

Congrat's to Gary too for choosing this one excellent image from among so many great photos this week. It couldn't have been very easy.

I don't know how I missed this image first time around. I am a sucker for B&W and this is a great example. The composition really appeals and the autumn look really adds to the overall effect. I am really engaged by it.

Well Done. :D

I haven't seen this one before, it's a really nice image - the composition and choice of B&W conspire to make it very moody. Congratulations Netmagi!
