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.

Chopper would have looked better higher.

Interesting shot. Probably hard to capture this one since you just have to wait for the chopper, but I'd like to see more of it in the frame. Also stronger focus and DOF would be nice. Cool angle...

Comment by Imagineer:
Composition is too wide and messy here. Need to get in close to the subject and leave the viewer in no doubt what you want them to see.

maybe i'm just being picky but "your options are limited to planes, trains, and automobiles"

I have always wanted to capture sun rays like this but I never see them when I can stop to take a photo. I really love this shot. I love the clear blue in the sky and the way the light just fans out over the horizon. Very nice. :)

The dirty stove adds to the eye thing...those little imperfections in the iris that psychics like to read...
