Thank you all for participating in this challenge. I'm wiped out due to a long day at work, so I'm just going to announce the winner now, and post my comments on all submissions tomorrow evening.


Honorable mention: teekay


Winner: kbColorado


Once again, thanks for all the great submissions. Take it away kb.


Jason

Good choice. That horse practically jumps off the screen. Very cool shot. Well done, kb.

Nice shots everyone. There's a lesson to be learned here.

Cheers, kb, nicely done. Fun topic, Jason.

As timing would have it, my neighbor placed some construction waste to the curb a few days before this challenge. I thought there might be something to the subject so with camera in hand, I struggled to get just the right perspective of this lumber. I wanted to get a broad enough DoF as well as compress the overall image. Shooting was done in brilliant morning light, but that was what I wanted, in order to get those contrasting black shadows. I guess the bottom-line question is, does the abstract-like image work? I've struggled with it and thought this challenge might substantiate it, one way or the other. What do you think? I've also been considering a tighter landscape crop.

Congratulations, kb - definitely a winning shot - and thanks for the hon.mention, Jason.

M-Six, that was a fine job of panning to catch that plane at 1/160!

Thanks, teekay. Was easy with the 70-200 2.8 IS in IS-mode 2.

Thanks Jason for the nod and the interesting topic this time around. The new challenge is up and this week's subject is an offshoot of this week's f/8. Thanks for the kind words to Kevan, teekay and M_Six.
