Skip, congrats on another ribbon, I knew you were up to no good! :-)

My wife was watching as I was flipping through all the entries (didn't vote on this challenge, though)and when I came to this one I stopped for a bit and we both said, "Wow, that's really cool!"

Great exposure. High enough shutter speed? Hehe. The rotate was a unique idea, though to me it would be better to leave it au natural, as the background water is a giveaway to the original orientation hence just causing me to rotate my head when I look at it. I found the crop to be a tough choice in my own entry, as I had a lot of leaway. I wonder if you had a tough time deciding for this entry, as it is a wonderful spiral.

Cheers,
Slippy

Well done.. congrats :o) Love this picture, will surely try it out one of these days with my boys...

p.s. thanks for your comment on my "motion stop" picture. It was the flying red... Could not shoot at the propeller speed (3000rpm) but decided to submit it anyway (mostly because I love this ac and my father is flying it)...
