PotW October 3rd 2007

Each week, one of the moderators or administrators selects an image that, for whatever reason, catches their eye. Please feel free to add your comments here. Vigorous discussion of the images and techniques is welcome and encouraged. Criticism of any mod for their choice is not. Please note that this is "Picture of the Week"; do not confuse that with "best picture of the week", which is a concept of which we have no understanding.

PotW October 3rd 2007

Postby MHD on Wed Oct 03, 2007 1:55 pm

Things certainly have been busy! It's been great taking time out to look through the great images posted by this community to decide on a pic of the week.

This week it goes to Underload for his great pier image:

I love the exposure, preserving the highlights on the wood while retaining definition in the ocean and foreground.

Nice work!

:D Thanks very much guys :D

Looking through the PotW Hall of Fame every now and again, to get a guernsey with a group of images like that, and photographers, is just fantastic.

Thankyou again :)
