POTW 24 Aug 2013

POTW a day early this week since my social life owns my next 2 evenings

Chris (sirch55) has been a little prolific with the images of late and has put up quite a range of shots, but this image below just jumped off the screen at me. It has a lot going for it - lighting, composition, depth of field and even the framing of the stamen (so we see neither end) make for a strong image.

Congratulations Chris. Original post is HERE

Well done Chris and well picked Stubbsy. Until I read the word stamen almost thought I was looking at corn on the cob.

Yep, well done Chris, and I too thought at first glance it was corny.
