Photo comments (Final Round)

Post by rs54263 »

Ok folks;
It's down to the final round; only 6 images left in contention, and
three have to be eliminated. The images have been cropped to 8x10
format (which sometimes changes an image significantly). I'd really
appreciate it if y'all could take just one more look, and share your
thoughts with me.

?OK, Ralph, 13794,and13855, are my definite absolute favorites, but I am having a hard time desciding between 11067, which is an excellent shot overall but I also like 14008 because of the clouds, so there's that because thing again soooo, ok 11067!? My reasons? 13794 is descriptive, 13855 is artistic, and 11067 is bold and colorful and blends nicely. Also the flannel shirt and snow give a nice visual of winter flying. But I'm not one of the Judges and it is hard to say what they might be looking for. So good Luck!

Thanks for the nice pictures Ralph. I like 14008, the clouds give it depth and just looks cool. 10910 - cold feeling and nice panaramic view with other glider. 13794 - for flyers, I think we appreciate this shot jumping off.

O.K. final vote

I agree w. Sue.

13794 tandem launch, 13855 close up of Eddie staring you down are definite keepers.

Tough call on the third shot, either of the two launches are your best choices: I like the 10916 with the the two gliders in the frame, but I think I'm giving my final vote for 11067. The blue on blue of Shawn's leading edge and the sky, his excellent technique and that you captured him right as he pushes off the edge.

10916 and 11864. I like things with multiple aircraft in 'em.
