Decent shot of this train, although I think its a bit tightly cropped on the left.

Looks almost like an HDR shot (or maybe some topaz). I like the textures it leaves on the planes themselves. Gread DOF too, good sharpness on all the important stuff in this shot.

Whoa.. this photo was a bit of a trick :)

I kept looking in the foreground for a boat for some reason, and kept thinking, there are no vehicles in this shot at all.... then, the plane flies right in :)

Cool use of a fisheye. 7

False Bravado (CW)
by JokersSoul

Comment:
Good idea for a shot, and I love the title. The composition could be improved however... I wish there was more separation between him and the background, it looks like he is needing on the fence. Perhaps a different point of view, from lower on the ground, looking up at him into the sky, would provide that separation.

Either way, a good shot overall. 6

Approaching (CW)

Comment:
This is a very nicely done water drop show, and I like the smooth blue tones and bokeh. The only unfortunate thing is that there are so many water drop shots in this challenge that it takes away all the uniqueness.

Also, I would have cropped out the white in the top left.

Overall a good shot. 6

Hmmm... not courage so much, but perhaps it is insanity.

Cool capture of something I will never, ever, do :)

Please excuse my tardiness :)
