Something very different this week.

This is simply a striking image. Great colour, superb contrast.

Well done, and well spotted. Congratulations Nigell.

very nice choice, I like it heaps.

When I first saw it, it reminded me of one of the aspects of photography I love, capturing things in a way the human eye cannot. this is one of those.

very abstract, and worthy :D

Great choice, I like this image very much, it's a simple image to look at, but when consider the complexities, it makes it even more impressive.

Well done.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this was a standout.
Mind you it must have been a tough decision. Lots of great shots this week.

Congratulations Nigell
