After my Mac caught a virus (yes, you better believe it, they do exist those pesky os x germs), I thought that this image was lost forever. It ate a raw file, but did not harm a developed copy.

A truly fantastic picture.

I agree with you 100%. In addition to numerous sporting events where I was accredited, I shot US Open tennis professionaly from 2000 to 2002. It is certainly exciting, technically challenging and labor-intensive, but has nothing to do with art.

people voted low for dnmc because they wanted the entire challenge to be sports shots so that I would be bored to death. this is a great picture in a challenge that was way too boring for me to vote on.

I'm livid that people didn't "get " this. IT is outstanding and has enough movement to fit the callenge. I gave it a 10. Think it's fabulous.

perhaps i am rating other pictures too high. no one can convince me that this is a mediocre picture.

cooooollll image!!
08/08/2006 01:13:48 PM
evasive action!! Nice!
08/08/2006 06:53:18 AM
do like this. intriguing.
08/07/2006 02:54:43 PM
I like the picture but I'm not sure how this applies to "action shot". Nice placement, cute model, nice use of graineness (is that a word?).

This is one of my favourites for the challenge, I love the symmetry of action on both sides and stillness in the middle. My only complaint is that its not quite the full 640 pixels, an extra 10% size would make this a bit easier to view and would be a 10 from me, but for now it’s a 9
08/06/2006 10:58:15 PM
a little motion blur, yes, but action? if you say so...
08/06/2006 06:01:29 AM
Good tones on the model in the center. I like the composition too.
08/06/2006 03:16:47 AM
This is a beautiful shot...great B&W
08/05/2006 01:38:15 PM
Very interesting shot. Way different than all the other entries. It is captivating to say the least.
08/04/2006 08:27:32 PM
10 :) requires more time to view. well done.
08/03/2006 08:59:08 PM
has the makings of a classic shot.
08/02/2006 09:54:37 PM
Very interesting
08/02/2006 01:28:44 PM
This is a very neat photo but I dont see how you relate it to action. I'm not sure if this was staged or if you were just waiting for the right moment but the only suggestion I would make is to have the two doors open the same amount. The left door for instance is a little distracting with the over exposed portion.
08/02/2006 01:23:17 PM
Very creative. I like this shot a lot.
08/02/2006 10:09:02 AM
?????? I have no idea why this is in this challenge
08/02/2006 09:48:18 AM
This is exceptional. Well thought out and extremely artful. My fav so far. 10
