Gosh. This week I can honestly say that I could have highlighted any of the entries and waxed lyrical about them, and the IOW could equally have gone to any of them. They are all excellent, so take a bow PeteB, jackscrap, christell, dandc, hmca, srmoment and Tpgettys. All of you deserve something.
But for the purposes of this award I am going to highlight three that showcase different aspects of our art.
srmoment's backside. I loved srmoment's peacock image during last week's members choice, and this surpasses even that, with the addition of that glorious cascading tail. They've used technical skill and artistry to turn a well composed image into a distinctive work of art.

jackscrap's Sunset at Glenelg jetty. A beautiful image beautifully photographed and beautifully processed. I love how they have contrasted silhouetted figures against both the bright expanse of sky and the water. You get a real sense of community as well as wonder. And then you look a little closer and see the subtle lighting along the pier. A wall hanger of an image. Did I mention it is beautiful?

And the IOW for this week is:
Tpgettys's Pipe Dreams. Great images provoke reactions, and I don't believe that there is a person on here that didn't smile when they saw this. Brilliant Disney-esque imagery, I can't work out the joins between photo and drawing, and then the interaction between the faces is priceless. Bravo!
