Nice find, and great finish in the challenge! I like the dark sky for this. It makes the subject jump to the front of the shot.

I'm glad to see the red go to someone who appreciates old iron. Good work!

Nice!
It looks like there is another one in the wake to the left of this one. Is this near Pine Island?

OK, you have "swamp angels" up there too? Maybe I will come visit next summer since it looks like I would feel right at home.
I'm not sure what you used to get this shot, but I understand why you didn't stick around for a few more.

Love the color in the bird's feathers in this shot. Sometimes you can just blast away and you get lucky. I love it when that happens.

What a cutie! I wouldn't want her mad at me though. A Land Rover is no match for a pissticated rhino.
You did have wonderful light for this shot.

The timing is spot on in this shot. It's hard to time your shots to get the fire like this with these old cannons because the action does not always happen right when they touch the fire to the touch hole. With the melon musket, I can time the shots by watching the trigger rope, and shoot just as it comes tight.

The straight line of the top of a wall going right through the top of the biker's head probably dinged this a lot in voting. Had he been a little lower or you a little higher, you could have cropped the bright area out, and it would be much more voter friendly. It's still a good, well exposed pan shot. Focus and following were spot on.

These are beautiful but dangerous little fish. The black background and top lighting bring out the wonderful colors in this specimen. Nice shot.

The negative luminosity effect in this gives the details in the buildings a lot of contrast and brings out things that would not be noticed in the original shot. It's almost like an IR shot overlaid with a visible light layer to get the colors.
