POTW 1 April 2014

So I have been out of the POTW Selection loop this year due to my other commitments and my sparodic visits to this community, but Gerry has been nice enough to invite me to select this week's winner (maybe he wanted to rig it in his favour). But I assure you all that I had a good flick through the images that were posted recently and did finally decide that Gerry had the most deserving choice (in my opion).

Congrats Gerry, you are continuing a run of monochrome POTW. This needs to be printed large and hung up somewhere. I love the tones and reflections in this image
