Thanks. Done by putting camera on monopod out of window about 3-4' above the roof and driving at about 5mph no flash.

Thank you for all the nice comments. I really liked the way the lighting worked for me on this shot. (It was in the evening, but I thought morning harvest would make it 'newer' :>)

Thank you for the comments. I have some shots without the highlight, and the cloth is invisible more or less, I prefered having the bit of cloth at the bottom and I liked the highlight *shrugs*.

It was taken through an approxmately 8" diameter glass globe which had some lines in it from the manufacturing process using water as a lens through a sphere caused some spherical and chromatic aberrations which i liked, but this and the lines could be mistaken for digitization problems I suppose.

I got the idea for this from a site with someone holding up a fresnel lens in front of their head and only their eye was on their shoulders. I didnt have a fresnel lens or a large enough globe to do that, but I thought the distorted enlarged eye looked interesting.

Thank you for all your comments. I knew this shot wouldn't go over too well, but so be it. Thanks karmat jmsetzler, the line from the top of the fence didn't bother me when I was picking my pic, but it was probably a too close to see the forest kind of thing since I narrowed down about 60 or so photos (and mostly picked this one because of the way the tree and the pole blurred so beautifully giving a real sense of speed and even a little rotation from the tree) and never really noticed that the black line of the fence top was a strong line dividing the photo.

Yes it was a 'grab shot' partly because I was driving at the time going ~35-40mph down the city street along the cemetary with my camera in my hand out the window, but I did take many many shots, quite a few over the same subjects (circled the long block a half dozen times, the cemetary is about a mile long).

I also wish I had captured the graves with less blur, but it wasnt going to happen with the camera lighting vehicle conditions so it didnt bother me too much because I loved the overall idea quite a bit so I used the best I had that conveyed what I wanted.

What I was going for was a photo which could convey a number of different things to viewers but not limit them including (a non-exahustive list) :
the contrast of the stillness of the cemetary and the speed of travelling past it,
the contrast of the living travelling person to the final resting place,
that we are all on the road but eventually stop,
that we are all travelling but end up 'nowhere' all too quick,
the dangers of driving while using a camera ;), etc..

I like the angle, and the composition. I would have liked a bottle without a ripped label better though, other than that it does make me thirsty so it must be a good ad :>
