Great sense of motion with the blades, it sure does look ominous up there.

Nice close up of airborne Black Hawk helicopter. Why such a tight crop?

(Voting completed - back to comment on random images)
Original vote = 5
Quite an uninspiring shot to be honest, it doesnt provoke any emotinal reactions (and I am quite a sucker for good aviation shots) and has no WOW factor whatsoever. Its tightly cropped so gives us no sense of movement, size or location (except for being in the sky). There is also some sensor dust present that could of been removed, but to be honest it doesnt detract from the image overall..
sadly I am going to revise my vote down on this to a 4.

I can see why this would be a hidden gem of a photo for many people.

I would like sharper focus and more details on the Black Hawk. Nice composition though.

Good capture and well framed. Subject needs to be a bit lighter.

not quite a silhouette, not enough light for detail

A hard shot to get but doesn't really do much interest wise for me.

A helicopter in (almost) silhouette, ok but not great

Neat snapshot of the helicopter. You can clone out those dust spots in advanced editing.

There are some dust bunnies in your lens :-) I like the slight motion of the blades.

Nice almost silhouette against the sky. A bit too stop-action, I think.

Blur on the rotors shows movement.

Nice. Unfortunately a lot of the detail is lost in the subject.. Wish the lighting was a bit better.

Pretty interesting to shoot fast enough to stop the props.

The chopper is pretty blurry.. main thing i see wrong with the shot.

This could use some more details that are lost in darkness on my monitor. Perhaps some Shadow/Highlights to draw them out? Nice stop action.

I never noticed before how the rotor tips bend up. Thanks for showing me this.

Nice photo of a chopper. The blurry wings gives it a kind of movement.

yeah.. you caught it but what makes this interesting??? there are spots in the sky and for an advanced challenge those should be removed.

Nice shot but it's rather cramped in the frame.

I love the copter, but it seems very dark. I popped this into my image editor to see and I found the histogram to be flat on the right most 1/3 of the image. A quick levels adjustment brought out a lot more detail from this.

I'd like this one better with the dust specs edited out. Neat silhouette.

Must take a fast shutter to stop the motion of the blades.

The chopper is a bit underexposed and lacking in detail. I do like the composition and the hint of motion.

The colors are to drab for me and the subject is to centered.

good job filling the frame, the propellers help with that, also like the contrast of the black hawk color against the blue sky

I think a wider crop would be better.
