POTW 2nd Sep 2014 - Selection by bigsarg7 aka Kristen

Thanks to Kristen for taking the time to review and select a image (and shortlist) for the DSLRUsers POTW :)
I fully appreciate the kids/ computer time, any time I sit down at the computer I seem to end up with one watching Ben and Holly on one screen and the other trying to eat the mouse and chase the little red light around (i usually leave them to it and go and do something else ;) )

Damn fine choice and a great shot by Mattk

First of all I apologise for the delay in my posting of POTW. I have am currently away on family holidays and well anyone who has kids will know finding time to sit down and actually achieve something on a computer is a rare opportunity. However, I have found the time tonight, finally.
Hey Gerry, Here is my pick for POTW. Sorry its late.


I have been watching the photos get posted over the last week and theres a few that have caught my attention. Such as Geoffs Photographs of victoria and Matt K for his snaps. In the end I was stuck on one photo from each of these posts.
I really liked the apostle photograph for the colours and the fact I love the apostles.

However, one from Matt K snaps has me continually going back to view it over and over again. So today I personally would like to pick Matt K's photo

The composition and simplicity of the image is great. Something that shows the art of photography in my opinion.

Thanks Folks.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Jealous. Why can't I get shots like that? I know I try often enough.

Well done. Not that we would expect less from Matt. And well spotted Kristen.
