I really hate it when there are so many excellent pics to choose from. Pics taken by Leigh, Matt, Surenj, Wendell plus many others especially from the Cockatoo shoot were very impressive. But, there has to one and only one for POTW. The photo I have chosen details the photographer's dedication to design. The composition is excellent and has colours that are just sublime. My belief is that when you look at a photo and you think to yourself “I wish I had taken that”, you are looking at something approaching perfection in your own mind's eye. This weeks POTW is  Congratulations Theo Chris

Holy carp!! This is absolutely brilliant. [bows] I wonder whether Theo will reveal his concept and lighting behind this photo. Is this a model or his cousin"? :)

It's certainly is brilliant. Simple composition, lovely colours, good focusing, lovely colours, interesting expression on the subject's face... And yes, you are right I wish it had been me who took it. Excellence all around!
