POTW 31/1/12

Cameron was quite open in his post in saying that this POTW shot from his camera was from the hip and not quite in focus.

To me this is not as important as the image and what it conveys. The lines and strength combined with the desolate figure conjure up a powerful image.

Congratulations Cameronand well worth your original posting.

Thanks guys...I am overwhelmed with this POTW. I liked the image but I never would have guessed it would have a chance at POTW.

It may just be that my work has changed to appeal to more of the selectors here.

Stop over analyzing these things Cameron. Don't be too modest either. :cheers:

Don't worry Cameron I'm one of the selectors and I think it's a crap image.


NOT :-) You're being too hard on yourself. I like the isolation of the subject, the strong lines and the subtle light. It's a fine image. Well done and congratulations.
