Feeling like a 5.8 or so. Not as sharp or as noise free as i'd prefer but I like the angle.

6.2 on subject matter alone.

****
Thanks. A top ten and my second best score yet! This was shot through the passenger side window of my car, ready to roll up my window and drive away. This is cropped from about 1/6th of my frame which i think accounts for some lack of sharpness. Also my engine was still on, so some vibration was happening. Next time i'll turn off my vehicle, roll up the window when it gets close and take the bath.

Nice straight on shot of the plane in action. The sky above the plane looks a little grainy which is a bit distracting.

photojournalism usually has to do with people and emotions, but not always. this is a pretty nice mag style shot.

WOW, what a capture, shame it looks like some of the detail is lost in the field (neatimage?) fantastic shot all the same!

Yikes! Did you have to run out of the way to not get sprayed?

Great shot, well executed, looks like something we'd see in a magazine article about farming or pesticide use.

good photograph and a different point of view than what I have an opportunity for. It does seem blurred in a few areas, such as the grass and dirt on the path and the airplane wings. If all parts were in sharp focus, it would have an awesome impact! I encourage you to try this same shot again.

I really love this shot. All the senses are touched. Great color contrast and 'rhythm' in the
photo itself. I hope you get a ribbon.

Classic shot. I wonder what that strange colouring is above the top wing?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/01/2006 01:17:20 PM
Or "Colour reels of Hitchcock's masterpiece North by Northwest discovered"?
