POTW 20 Mar 2012

In looking at the images posted over the last week or so I must say I'm a little disappointed in the number of images shared. We have some fine photographers at varying skill levels who frequent the forum yet this week it would seem less people were out and about with their cameras. Hopefully it's just a blip amd you all get out and put that expensive piece of technology you have to good use (note to self - same applies to me)

That said the quality of what was on offer was very good and a few images took my eye. Interestingly the photo I've chosen (original thread HERE) has only received 33 views and no comments since it was first posted last Sunday. I think it's an excellent black and white shot and a strong composition. There's a wonderful sense of mystery and beauty about the image that really appeals to me. Congrats to zafra52.
