I wasn't going to enter but then I was out in the yard shooting birds and this helicopter flew right overhead, so ... I took it as a sign and photographed it!
PP - cropped, increased saturation on cyan/blue range, curves, USM, increased overall saturation, increased contrast, decreased gamma, resized, sharpened, reduced noise, added border
Post-challenge: yes, I should have used a slower shutter speed to get some visible rotation. I actually reset the camera and waited for another helicopter to come by, but no such luck. |

| OK, but I think a slower shutter speed would have worked a lot better, good luck |

| Nice try but it would be so much nicer if it was a bit sharper. |

| Wish I could see more spinnage...nice blue sky and detail. Somehow the blades seem out-of-focus a tad bit. |

| work on composition, and increase the motion blur by slowing down your shutter speed next time. |

| A slower shutter speed to blur the rotor would do a better job of creating a "spinning" effect here. |

| there seems to be little action in this picture, even though the subject is an action symbol. Anyone could point a camera at the sky and take a picture, the real challenge is to make it interesting |

| Just curious. How high up was the chopper, and how fast a shutter speed? |
