Picture of the Week 24.04.07

[Geoff]

Whoa.
What a task? I get back from a week away from the forum to find a miriad of absolutely stunning images.
After a very difficult wander through the images this one stood out.
By Spaz 'A Different Take'.

This is the original image:


I think this has real artistic flow and would love to see this enlarged and framed on a wall (or canvas). I can see many music lovers around the world desiring this image.

Congratulations Spaz!

Well done Spaz. Was listening to Beethoven's Piano Concertos 3 & 4 and thought of this pic. Nice and timeless.

Great choice Geoff. This image has so much mood and atmosphere, lovely dark tones, perfect depth of field... great shot spaz

[spaz]

Woah! Thanks guys, very much appreciated!

I just came on to check the new posts and saw the thumbnail on the side but couldn't work out why it was there.

It's the 3rd time I've tried this but only the first success, which I put down to the shallower DOF compared to previous attempts.

Thanks again

Geoff certainly had a mammoth task in selecting an image for this week's PotW. I think he made an excellent choice; this image just oozes music to me, and is just so good.

Spaz - an excellent shot for POTW - a good example of how photography isn't just about recording events - it's an artform as well.

Geoff - well chosen from a very strong bunch of images this week. I'd have had great difficulty making a decision.

Excellent shot Spaz, congratulations on PotW

Well chosen Geoff

congratulations spaz, untill i read your original post i thoght it must have been creative photoshopping...the fact that they are reflections makes it so much better. Great shot.

There was definitely Photoshopping involved in achieving the black and white feel that I wanted but not for the music. Everything could be replicated in a traditional darkroom so I don't consider any of it "cheating".
