Terrific capture..especially under the circumstances.

Yes, silence at last. But this picture is NOT something I want to look at! What is that, entrails in there? Ewww! Also, I found the frame too large and the feathering of the frame doesn't improve the image.

Comment by GeneralE:
Why thank you both ... I use the larger borders sometimes to fill out the print size, so I don't have to resample the image and introduce any more noise or blurriness (I'm starting with less than 2MP). I figure people can trim/cover it if they don't like it, but someone can also just tack/tape it to the wall if they can't afford to frame it and have it look "finished."

This image was taken one-handed through the windshield, so I have no quality to spare ....

No, it seems I can do this without trying! Too bad, I just missed getting two in a row.

I'm concerned that people may think I'm deliberately "thumbing my nose" at the challenge topic with an off-beat interpretation like this. Really, I am also trying to work within the the limits of the technology and time I have at hand. With my camera, I could have lit enough matches to smoke up the Los Angeles basin and never gotten a capture like the winning one.
