 Our guest PotW selector this week is our resident expert on creepy-crawlies, blacknstormy, aka Rel. Rel's own photos have delighted us over a long time, and she approached her task with her usual exitement and good humour: Wow - select a photo for POTW Trevor said - 'have fun' Trevor said - I don't think I've ever agonised this much over chosing my favourite photo for the week ... but I've never had to post which photo has been my favourite either I had a tough time - so many great photos - fantastic macros, great panos, landscapes and portraits .. but I just keep coming back to this photo by Iposiniditos. It has been a pleasure seeing Theodoros' photos evolve and grow - and this shot has such a timeless quality, the attitude, the exposure - I love it  So, the POTW goes to Theodoros 
  Here is the link to the original thread:viewtopic.php?f=18&t=34939 A huge thanks to Rel for continuing the role of our guest PotW selector.

 Rel you have chosen a photo that epitomises, for me, the classic look of excellence - Theo you are a well deserved winner for your POTW

 Congrat's Theo, yes, classic (1960s?) is the look, well done. A different image for the POTW this time and well spotted Rel.

 Colin,  Please restrict your comments to the images.    Oh, you were .... Yes, these was a particularly nice group of images, and Theo has done particularly well, as has Rel in her selection.g.Gary Stark
 Nikon, Canon, Bronica .... stuff

 I love it. A good photo is all about how it makes you feel... or forces you to feel something.
 I feel good :)
 
 Great choice.

 first glance at the smaller image and I thought it was a Beatles Album cover!
 I too like it for its classic look and feel. A memorable era those 60's!!
 
 Great choice Rel and great capture Theo.
 
 Cheers
