I personally really liked your photo and that it was pretty amazing that that kind of stuff happens in your corner of the world. It is unfortunite that other people did not see it for what it really is...
Very cool photo Tattyrob

Cool. What is it?
09/29/2002 06:37:00 PM
Hmmm. Obviously you have an abstract intent that I don't understand. I'll give you benefit of the doubt on that. I don't understand the photo at all, though. 5 nards656

Fucking brilliant! I love it. How and where?
09/27/2002 03:13:00 PM
Stunning! fireworks?

cool abstract.
09/26/2002 09:33:00 PM
Sorry. I don't get it.
09/26/2002 05:58:00 PM
Interesting, I am curious as to what this is...
09/26/2002 04:00:00 PM
smoke?
09/26/2002 02:15:00 PM
Can't tell what this is. Pretty colors, though.

whats the hell is this? I like it but i dont know how you take this one
09/26/2002 10:42:00 AM
I personally don't think this meets the challenge's theme, but that is a debatable matter. I think there is too litle of the dragon, and it sems to be disapearing too soon. I would look for a more intense grade of light coming from it.

:-) nice and abstract, but did you submit this to the "negative space" entry instead? i like the photo quite a bit. 8 paganini

This seems like a really neat trick of lighting, but I honestly don't understand the connection to the challenge. I'm sure there is an interesting story behind this photo, but ...... I don't know. The best I can go is 6. Swash

Nice of the Air Force to set this up for you. Good shot. JEM

Wish I had seen the acutal missle shot. Fantastic pic! Only the title gave it away. Wish there was a score higher than 10 for this one.
09/23/2002 04:39:00 PM
interesting. wish i could tell what it was.
09/23/2002 02:38:00 PM
Pretty.....Good luck. Justine
09/23/2002 01:55:00 PM
Just too indistinct to care about, I'm afraid. 2 Jak
09/23/2002 12:41:00 PM
Would love to know what Launch that was
09/23/2002 09:11:00 AM
If the photographer's title didn't offer a clue as to what this photo was supposed to be about, I would not have had a clue. And, what does this have to do with the 'corner of the world' challenge?
09/23/2002 01:59:00 AM
it almost looks like an eyeball and an optic nerve
09/23/2002 01:52:00 AM
Better than the picture in the paper! 8 rcrawford
09/23/2002 01:35:00 AM
I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at... northern lights? If so, cool...
09/23/2002 01:04:00 AM
I got pictures of that. Must be OC.
09/23/2002 12:38:00 AM
This is an interesting abstract, but I can't tell what it is and can't seem to relate it to how it is the 'corner of your world'??? - jmsetzler
