Hannah - Folsom Hotel Saloonby tryingtostayinfocusComment: Congrats on the ribbon! I knew this would do very well. I feel lucky in 2nd place; 0.003 difference in score. I know you were well above 7 most days of the voting period. Should have finished there IMO. |

Getting Some Air Before Sunsetby texdonComment: Originally posted by Neat: Seriously Don 100%, absolutely fantastic photo!…

Anita, from the Queen of Silhouettes, I’m just flattered by your comments. Thank you! 107 attempts. I had several with a single rider I was quite content with. I didn’t even know I got this one until I downloaded the images! Pleasantly surprised to say the least. This a full frame image, no cropping. 100 degree temps and I had to walk to the spot and didn’t want to lug a second lens; Figured I’d be better off with the 70-200, wrong. At 70 mm, my back was against a barbed wire fence with six foot dense weeds behind it.
Sunset was around 8:30 pm, and the riders had to be off the track by 8:30, so I wasn’t going to get the golden light I wanted. This one was snapped at around 7. I’m at the bottom of a 20 feet hill, so the illusion of sunset is there. I did have to play with this to get the light color I wanted. I actually used your latest entry as a guide. It’s a natural vignette, not added. Exposure was really tricky because I could not time very well where the riders would be with the sun and they were very fast. Ended up with a high shutter speed priority with an automatic 5 stops underexposure dialed in. Most of the riders had called it a day by 7:30 and were leaving.
Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments. I know now where the higher scores come from. Wish I could figure out the 4s and 5s. |

A boatby helgiComment: This picture has a lot of potential. The blurry object on the right is just too much distraction for me. Pretty sure cloning that out is legal with standard editing. |

The End of the Lineby Bear_MusicComment: Interesting image and take on the theme. The bright sky on the right competes for my attention. Wish there were more trees there to tone it down. |

Watery Transportby ErinKirstenComment: Dramatic sky really helps this image. I think the composition would have been better 2-3 seconds earlier, moving the ship more to the left. |

vroom broomby flahermaComment: A nice take on the theme. If you could have managed a sunset instead of the white sky, that would have made this image for me with the complimenting orange and black colors. |
