PotW January 24, 2012

This week's selection is one that I've selected because of its pure simplicity. From reading the text accompanying the image, you can gather that this probably wasn't quite what Rodney wanted to achieve, but regardless, it's an image that is striking, simple, and makes great use of negative space.

Thanks Gary - as you've mentioned I'm far from perfecting the shot I'd intended/imagined but I did like the basic simplicity of this shot when I was reviewing them (no one can acuse me of forgetting to include some negative space :))
