PotW - February 5, 2013

This week's choice is a simple image, from Geoff M .

In this image, Geoff has made great use of selective focus, plus he's captured some great action, all in what is basically a very simple setup. Elegant would not be an inappropriate word here.

Gary, I think that's the second time you have selected an image of mine for PotW with a child in it! Thank you. I think the new camera is helping me create some alternative images.

Geoff,

I must be getting old. :)

In all seriousness, perhaps the camera is helping you to see things a little differently, and perhaps to try some different things?
