This is such a great sk8tr shot. Nice work

i like this one a lot. the contrast is strong, i love it. i like that you took an unconventional subject too. bravo! :)

Nice composition. I like the simple aspect of this shot. Well done.

i like the composition, but i think the "frozen" rotors are unnatoral for a flying helicopter.

Agree with gnadam...implies the helicopter is going to drop straight into the water...and not sure if the water looks natural

nothing was postprocessed on this picture. thanx for your comments.

I agree with you about the effect given by the frozen rotors, but the helicopter was moving so If I would have decrease the sutter speed, the machine would have been blured.

btw, this pic was posted for the stop motion theme :-)

Love the background texture agaist the leaf...but the leaf is not as clear as it should be

Fun! Certainly have the motion stopped!

Hehe....are you sure that this really fits in the theme.....????

Just kidding....you may know why....:)
Very nice scene!!

Haha

Love the vibrant pink against the stopped water...great catch

very nice!

I have to agree with the use of color here--quite nice.

those grey clouds and the contrast of the red of the bus make this image for me. Sometimes you see photographers overdo this style of shot, but it's been done with perfection here.

Reminds me of Belgrade after the war

The colours and the scene of this picture are great, it gives me a surrealistic feeling.

This is a very interesting composition with a fantastic post processing job done to it.
The image has a doomsday feeling to it that I find very appealing.

Like a scene from movie...

fanstastiv ... the light of this pic is amaising

I think the only thing that would make this image perfect for me is if only there was no one other than the little boy in the image. But I love it regardless.

2great. really awesome moment

It's a Great instant !
Good Capture !

Good one.

Opening Day is right around the corner!

Funny because I thought instantly, "Play ball!". Nice.

I have a friend who works for the Padres and had full access to the park - this shot just called out to me. The mow pattern was just perfect!!!

Thanks for the comments!

Green enough.

I shot this at a snake-quariaum (for lack of a better word) in Costa Rica. It's a River Lizard, as I recall, and was in a glass enclosure, so perhaps that soft area has something to do with the glass? I'm not sure to be honest.

I'm curious, Brant, if what you see is a bit of a distraction :-) Thanks for the comment!

Not a distraction for me George, I still thinks its awesome ;) I did have a suspicion though that it was glass causing what I see as softness.

What an amazing animal, great details.

Thanks riesenriel! And to all who clicked it ;-) This fella's eyeball is one of the things I liked about him.

Great texture. Amazing.
