Congratulations to Beemer B773ER for winning last week's competition

Well done to him.

General Photo Competition #143

Rules:

The submitted picture must have been taken by the submitter.
Only one photograph per person and per week is permitted.
The submitted photograph may not be changed once it has been entered.
There are 5 days to submit your photograph, a poll will be created after five days for people to vote on. (Voting from Friday morning to Monday morning, then a new thread will be created Monday morning for entry)
Your image must be a resolution of 1024*768 or lower. If it is not, your picture will not be in the voting thread.
In the interest of fairness, entrants may not vote for their own photograph.
The photograph should be submitted with: A Title, the date, and the type of camera.
Photoshop and other image editing softwares: Levels, Curves, Colour Balance, Brightness/Contrast, Hue/Saturation, cropping, or anything else possible in the development process or with filters and common special lenses is permitted . Other adjustments and effects (Color Selective - pending) are not permitted.

Just a quick announcement:

James will be running this photo competition from now on.

I would like to tell you guys how impressed I have been with your talent and progress. I think photography is a very powerful medium with the potential to communicate and inspire. The static image can often be more poignant and compelling than a moving one. Some of you have an intuitive understanding of composition and your technical skill is very obvious.

The greatest thing about digital photography is how accessible and instant it is -- I have been intrigued by the thoughtfulness behind some of the images -- although I must say, as somebody who doesn't handle the sight of blood particularly well, I did find Bruce's last entry to be quite difficult to look at for too long.

Anyway, I wish you all the best for the future, it has been a pleasure being part of this small group. I leave you in the capable hands of our friend James.
Farewell.

Rob.

Great shot MikeJ! The glow around her face and her hair really adds something special to the shot.

Here's mine for the week..taken over 2 years ago, but I still love this shot.
