B1 Bomber in After Burner
by fsieradzki

Comment:
Ummm, I don't think he would have been in afterburner with flaps AND spoilers down, because that normally means he's landing, but it's still a nice shot :-)

I hate to say this, but for once, maybe TOO much depth of field? A little OOF in the background would have really set off and outlined the tree.

Self Service

I almost voted this a 3 because I would personally like to discourage this type of "effects in the camera" usage on DPC. However, you tell a great story and did a good job of photography, so I won't punish you like that :-) The more I look the more I like it. 7 nards656

I'm not a big abstract fan, but this is well done. Great color. I think I would like it even better without the little bits of yellow.

Last Year's Resolution
by myqyl

Comment:
Those resolutions from last year frustrate us all :-) I think this shot could have had a lot more perspective if some different angles had been included. I always try to think of how a commercial or a movie maker would portray things like this. Never flat. Always use some angles to pull the viewer's eyes to where you want it. A combination of vertical and horizontally adjusted angles can do a lot. I think you meant to use the rule of thirds, but it would have been more effective if the lines at the floor and walls pulled the viewer's eyes from the corners of the shot to the rule of thirds point. As well, don't ever let these jokers convince you that EVERYTHING has to use rule of thirds. That's bunk - it's just a guideline. Center it if you feel that's strongest. Good luck!

Harsh lands

This is an incredible shot, in my book. This an excellent bw. My only complaint are the antennas on the buildings, and they aren't your fault; they just affect your image. Good sky. Did you use NeatImage to smooth that up a little, or is this "original"? Either way, it's great, and it's one of only four tens for me in this challenge.

Merry Kissmas!

And Merry Kissmas to you, too. The white IS just a little loud here, as far as the brightness. Maybe a little darker gray would have helped, but you know how that is.
