POTW 10th April 2012

There have been some amazing images in the past week so the choice was very difficult. I eventually chose the picture below (one of many excellent images) because it is inventive, colourful, artistic and from my perspective bloody difficult to achieve.

So, the POTW is by Remorhaz and it is superb - well done

It is a rather ghostly image that
would fit a hellish nightmare with
nice colours though. Then again,
a photograph doesn’t need to be
pretty… to be good.

Thanks Chris - this is definitely one where a number of us will have to share the honours - in fact for this particular shot I expect more of the creative kernel came from Gerry and Suren. I got to strangle Suren tho so not all is lost :)

Naice! Very nice.

I think this was Gerry's idea and as Rodney has said, it was definitely a group effort. There was input from Kath and Cameron as well. As you can see, I have moved one of my arms. This shot took forever to do (from my POV!) Next time, we may think of a cardboard cut out.... :wink:
