I was *very* disappointed this shot placed so low. I think it's head and shoulders above many of the others! I mean, really... how many speeding planes, trains and automobiles can we stomach? Grey plane on grey background anyone?
Oh well! Still love to see it framed on the wall. If only I had the cash. In the meantime, keep at it!
There's a number of fairground ride shots entered in the challenge, but this one is IMO the best. It's predominantly in the tonal depth (the blackness of the blacks), but combined with perfect amount of motion blur, the legible text in foreground, (near) illigible background text, and the subject's gaze cast off to one side, all adds up to a shot that I can easily imagine in large format framed on a wall.
What a hectic scene - i like it. Good composition. I wish those people on the right were sharper - the contrast against the blurred background would have accentuated the speed aspect, i think.
