Crikey, it is hard to choose a picture of the week.
A lot of competition this week from my point of view and I'm giving it to Slider, but not for one of his cool froggy pictures, which was what I was going to do in the first place.
No, I'm giving him it for this really cool and slightly surreal landscape of a field.
I think it's a really cool image with the colours and the composition just working for me.
It comes from this series here.
Coincidentally, I almost gave it to the first image in this series here... of the frog on the leaf which I thought was fantastic too.
Great work Slider!

Woo Hoo
Thanks for all the great comments folks. Am I happy or what. Sorry I took so long to respond but I only just spotted it.
I am particularly pleased as there was very little PP, just a minor tweak to the exposure.

yeah this one is really interesting. I don't think the thumbnail version of it does it any justice at all - but when seeing the larger version it totally submerges you! wow..... great work
