Good capture, with the ball being just off the ground, good work on the DOF, I took some similar shots that just did nt work. Your shot is clear and showing movement, not easy, well done.

Aerobatics - Stunt Flying
by Morgan

Comment:
I suspect folks will tell you this is not a sport, but I think it is a great shot, the curve of the smoke and the blue color are freat, it is a clean shot, the light is hitting the back of plane and smoke area nicely too. Well done.

Freedom of Thought - giving it a chance
by jjbeguin

Comment:
I can't believe this shot ended up where it did, I expected it in the top 3, or at least 10. It was such a creative take on this challenge. I like the 'other objects' a tube (going down the tube perhaps?) And the giant dead flower, such symbol of true beauty being replaced (to me anyway). Thanks for the thought provoking image, sorry it did not fair too well.

The Voice of Freedom
by ellamay

Comment:
My shot was representing, to me, that the militaristic voice of freedom should be restrained. I was not condoning freedom at the cost of human life. I am not at all in favor of war as a solution to the difficulties life presents, surely IMO there are more civilized ways to solve problems. Thanks to those of you who commented, sorry for the confusion, though I am glad my shot made folks think some : ).

BTW it was NOT shot in sepia, this is straight out of camera with slight crop. Was a rainy day and this was the colors camera picked up.

I dont think this is the most technically stunning shot, but it is at least a creative and different approach to this challenge, and I like it, nice work

Fading Freedom

I like your 'statement', and while i see why needed to be 'faded' I wish was little less so was more visible image, still one of my favorites in this challenge.
