My goodness jeevs... awsome shot!!!

And the winners are.....

These are just my opinions and what I see. We all see things differently, and interoperate them differently. When I set the challenge I had certain thought what could win the challenge, and then I saw some amazing photography and threw those ideas out the window.

Here goes:

Robuk – Low Low Flying!!!!!!! - Great capture!! You guys in the UK get some amazing angles.

Jason C – Sun and Road - I like how you photograph tells a story. Great use of Black and White.

Flo – Mars Bomber – Looks like something is going to get wet. I really like the good prop blur. The colors are great too.

Warl0rd – Classic Fun! – This photo makes me laugh. I love the guys with there motorcycle jackets on taking this great car for a joy ride.

Megawatz – Whoa, Black Betty – Your speaking to me! Yep I’m a Mustang lover too!! Too bad there is the reflection of the yellow car in the door, but I know you can’t always control your surroundings.

airfrogusmc- Truck Triptych #3 – I really like the use of Black and White in you composition on the truck parts. It just makes them feel that much older.

Purple Puppy – The L – The feel of speed is what works for me in your photo. I’m having a hard time telling if that’s a real train or a model. Makes me look even more.

Maureen Souza – Reflected Train Wheels – The red really draws me in. Great angel to catch “both” sets of wheels.

dilorenzo – Bon Voyage – Yep boats can count too. That is just a cool photo and the timing couldn’t have been any better to catch every one standing there.

Sharpmaxell – Spec This! - That’s a nice looking car in a great location, but what makes it great is the clouds.

jetcode – flower taxi – the DOF (depth of field) is great! The flowers give it just what the photo needs to break up the blues.

Bwqian – Kia Seoul – Great panning and wheel blur. I feel the speed.

jeev – no title? – Great photo of the Delta plane taking off. The blur sells!!

John_B – My Custom Camera Transporter – Talk about getting you gear to a shoot in style. Now there no excuse why you can’t make it. Photo adventure here we come!!



I must say this is a REALLY hard choice. There are so many of the shots that stand out!!! While I was looking at each one I thought ok this is the one and then I would move to the next and think the same thing.

There can only be one first place so here goes:

1st place goes to jetcode – flower taxi – the DOF makes me come back to this one. I could see this hanging on a wall.

2nd place goes to Jason C – Sun and Road – The look and longing for the open road makes it. I some how just feel it.

And for 3rd place a tie between Robuk – Low Low Flying!!!!! And Warl0rd – Classic Fun! It was hard to decide between a Great Plane photo of the humor of the car!

Thanks to all who entered. It was a lot of fun for me.

Way to go Joe (great shot and good choice for the winner Mike) and great job everyone. Thanks for the crit Mike and great job judging!!!
