    Sorry for the break, but taking this over from ACD and we missed a bit over a week.

    This stunning shot from squareballoon is the Photo of the week. Well done.

    Absolutely love this photo. Stunning both in focus and composition. :)


    btw, did we miss a photo of the week? I though last was up to 31st of Oct?

    ACD has been doing this since he launched it. Now that he has been promoted there was a week lost.


    Tell you what I will renumber this one & go back to fill in the missing week.

    Tut-tut, I leave the place for a week and it all falls down around :p

    Hey wait a minute..... No it hasn't. Doh! :D

    Last Photo of the week was Week #19 - 26th October to 1st November awarded to Pivot_Al

    So week #20 was as posted elsewhere 2nd to 8th November (inclusive). But week #21 shouldn't have surfaced until next week (Doh! x 2) - the rationale being to allow loads of time for images posted towards the end of the week in question to gather their votes (thanks) otherwise the images posted at the beginning of the week have an unfair advantage of sorts.

    So Cabansail, you are now a week ahead of yourself. Now that would never have happened when I was doing it :p (really it wouldn't - some weeks I was lucky to crank out a single week ;))

    /ok, back to lurking.

    Squareballoon - fantastic image. Loved this when I saw it going through the random thread.

    Well done.

    Another great shot. Amazing how you can get something so good out of something so simple. Well done!

    Here I was thinking I was late doing this ..... now I find out I am early. :eek:

    Still got my L Plates on for this. Regular service will be resumed for number 22 ..... I hope. :D

    wow, I'm so excited! It's the first time I've won anything photography related.
    the details are
    camera canon 5d
    exposure .033 sec
    iso 1250
    50mm f1.4 and I used the flash with a gary fong diffuser.

    because I was using the flash I didn't want anything behind her that she would cast a shadow on so I sat her in the doorway between 2 rooms. It meant she would get some light from the room she was facing and kept the one behind her dark. the hearts are silver table decorations from Woodies.
    I also used a vintage action to dull the blacks.
