going for the kill

Hello again,

I know about the focus lag. My experience with a Canon EOD300D tells me two things:

A) It focus faster
B) It wouldn't save you on this one (ooppps... I'm going to get rammed here)

I would use single-auto-focus on the hand and then press the focus button and change to manual to lock it there. Works for me.

Would like it better with a car in the photo. Almost perfect. Still, the best in the challenge, second to my Giant Lollipop, of course :)
I give you 9. I will change it to a 10 if you can add the car before the voting ends...

Hello everyone! Thanks for your votes.

Yes, I also expected the photo to finish better: the commenters had an average of 7.2 but the general voting was 5.4.

Actualy this was not my first choice, but all other takes turned out worst soo I submited this one. I knew I had a photo on the top 50% before submitting, but after reading the coments, was building a hope to place among all the other "quit smoking"s. Such is life.

Oh well, off to the next challenge we go...

Escher's Point of View

Nice one. I really like M.C. Escher's work. I think you should have hold in your hand like the original litography, but then again, this one looks great.

As a side coment: you probably know it allready, but from a couple of shots like this, with a good globe and proper technic, you can capture a full spherical panorama (360º and all the way up and down).

As an example I made this small view into your living room: //217.129.14.92/qtvr26/qtvr76.html

Or you can take a look at mine, done under controlled conditions with 2 shots and the fotographer removed from the final shot.

//217.129.14.92/qtvr21/qtvr.html

Anyway, great interpretation of the challenge. Nice picture. Good luck.

This is probably the winner, but I find the display on the top to be a bit distracting. Hope that it has something to do with the picture and doesn\'t turn out to be just a bit of uncropped image.

... and really would like to know how it was done. Bravo!

This is not a Digital Camera! Are you sure the rules allow it? Can I request a desqualification on this one?

(just kidding)

Nicely shot. Love the angle and light.

Nice. I would try and crop a bit on the bottom. And get the horizon straight.
