A bonafide poster here. The comp is different and distinct with the visual tie-in to nature's "flying machines" who seem to have an interest in the event as well. Excellent work. One of those shots that can define a career.
I have rated a bunch of photos this happens to be one of two no. 10 that I assigned. Good work, being in the right place at the right time. Wonderful image. Good luck. dp
Wonderful shot, great that you could be there. The only thing I would change is the two lines one sticking up from the bottom and one in the top right hand corner which I would clone out. This of course isnt allowed in this challenge. But nonetheless it is a beautiful shot.
To me this could be a really awesome photo, to bad the small weeds or what ever they are. Are in the way. Since the main focus of the photo is the shuttle, you could have bump the contrast up some, not alot. So we could see the fire more and then played with some levels, to darken the foreground some. Kinda like silhouette and on that note I give you an 8. Hell I might even buy a print.
I'm not sure I can mentally qualify the vehicle as a tool of the trade for astronauts. No dock for my opinion on how well this one fits the challenge, thoughk, as I can your viewpoint. It's a great photo only marred by the two "hairs", or whatever they are.
I really like this photo. The shuttle in the background, the birds watching on in the foreground. I'm not too fond of the border and the two blurred spots (bottom and top right side) really take away from the overall feeling. I also would have liked it to be a bit brighter or it may have been better in B&W - 8
