Lighting is a big problem. That tree trunk is also a bit distracting.

Now, here's a difference between you and me. I would have been crashing through the hedges between me and the limo to get that tree out of the picture. Good candid capture, though. You are observant.

Could have used a polarizing filter on this one to reduce refelctions on those petals. I have two of these hanging off the front of the house. These plants look awesome, don`t they?

Okay photo, the tree is in a horrible place though, it not only covers part of the sign, but is right in front of the car. Creative headline however.

Bad picture for this challenge. Crop is too tight, you have stray reds, stray browns, and a bunch of blue on the bottom right.

Because I was driving to work, in the left-most of three lanes of merging traffic, and the helicopter was only going to be there for a moment. Believe me, if I could have set up traffic cones and my tripod I would have radioed the pilot to circle around and come in again from a better angle ... :)

This is an opportunistic, photojournalistic-type shot (more suitable for this week!) and is obviously not "composed" in the usual sense. In retrospect, I agree with the people who suggested tighter cropping to eliminate clutter and put more emphasis on what part of the helicopter is visible. Still, this is one of the types of photography I do ... sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I think it can be a decent photo, but not necessarily "Art" for the living room wall.
