POW -29 SEP 09

This picture by NIKON BOY has all the elements...it is beautifully crafted....technically perfect...atmospheric. and it just transports me to the airfield during the war. I love the characters , the plane and the Hollywood excitement. Well done Nikon Boy

Thank you very much for this i am very pleased

As mentioned previously i took so many images and have been a little bogged down with post processing that i think i lost the ability to actually ''see'' and acertain what constitutes a good image

Obtaining pic of the week has given me a much needed boost to get stuck back in and convert some more

I don't normally post heaps of pics or make that many comments on others however i do haunt the forum and get a great deal out of it

In future i intend to be more involved and encourage others to be also

thanks again

This is just a superlative image. Congratulations on POTW and, more importantly, kudos for the mastery you've shown in choosing the perfect processing for this image.

I'm glad this image was picked for POW. Well done Nikon Boy. I hope the other images you have taken are as good as this one. :) I'd love to see them.
