Magic, MAGIC capture. I just adore the B&W - it brings out the metallic SO well. Just WONDERFUL.

Obviously my only (teeny gripe) is the nose being touching the bottom of the frame, but completely forgiven considering how amazing the rest of the image is!

great angle and fits the challenge well. I will say you either

a/ have an insanely long lens
b/ were standing below a VERY low flying helicopter
or c/ this is a mounted helicopter and no threat to you at all :-)

still, all in all meets the challenge perfectly, you dealt with a tricky exposure problem well (dark object against a light sky) and have thrown in a good BW conversion as well.. brilliant!! 8

weirdly frozen in air, nice bw conversion, perhaps with a bit longer shutter you'd get movement

This pic has so strong atmosphere and effects that I think the original (?) normal direction from right to left would have worked much better.

Would probably look cooler with a slower shutter speed.
