Pure Insanity

Very strong composition with the smoke leading my eye around the image and the wingwalker completing the circle. Good colors. Some sharpening artifacts along the leading edges of the wings. Good saturation. Focus could stand to be a bit more precise ... but very hard in practice. Among my favorites.

I love these Herens. I'll never tire of seeing them in nature and in photos here. Great photo and choice for the theme. Among my favorites. There are some processing artifacts that bother me some: The farther wing looks like a bit too much noise reduction was applied; There are some sharpening artifacts on the bird's neck; and it looks like there are some jpg jaggies. These diminish the photo slightly from my perspective ... but it's still a great capture. High degree of difficulty. Well executed, considering.

Wonderfully executed interpretation of the challenge theme. Among my favorites this challenge. I especially like the high contrast. Composition of the hands and arms is perfect. Beautifully focused and presented.

Lovely. Wonderful textures. Nice leading line formed by the mist. It's a little dark on my calibrated monitor ... you may lose points for that, or fail to attract voters who just vote the thumbs. But top marks from me! Best in show.
