exceptional image.. this is one of the best I've seen here on photo.net

ahhhhhhh!! WOO HOO IS right!! this is a great shot!!!

excellent composition and use of colors.. bright red in just the right spot.. almost an abstract at this angle.. wonderful shot.

I love greys, though I'm a cockatoo man at heart... beautiful pic of a delightful bird..

nice shot.. I'd rate it at least an 8 all around, possibly a 9. I would hoever look over the rules of rugby if you are interested in shooting it more, though you've done a very good job first time out.. as mentioned before, this is a scrum, and no, ruggers dunn like football comparisons.

oooh.. painful... hope they don't actually scrum with their hindparts in the air like that ;-)

wonderful shot, very well lit, love the mirror reflection, expressions.. composition is also perfect..

that eye is just freaky.. :-)

the lighting and composition are excellent.. 10-10 easy :-)

this is a truly remarkable photograph.. excellent exposure.. excellent capture!!

very funny shot

sweet shot

another awesome photo!!

this is a psychadelic shot!!

I don't much care for the rating system either, on this particular set of images it seems entirely useless to get a rating and not know why it was given. More so on the other shots in this series, but including this one as well. I just prefer comments, though I do see your point.

 

In any case, thanks for your comment on this and the preliminary hair program design. I value them greatly.

 

cheers,

I absolutely love this photograph, excellent combination of elements, and capture of action.

fabulous shot!!

an exceptional image, thanks for sharing.. I can imagine that It'd be great to see as a print

Beauty of a Shot..'n' good-on-ya

I see the attraction of this shot, especially in the context of the portfolio, and I must say, the portfolio represents a talented photographer Having said that, I'm not too hot on the shot. My problem with it is that though it is pretty, It's rather "boring". I wouldn't want to look at it for more than a second, and it would be one of those shots that I'd neither throw away nor display by itself. (In a group, it works, it fits a niche) Of course that's my personal oppinion. I commend the photographer for going out on a limb with an unusual approach to a bird photograph with less than ideal equipment. I personally love silhouettes, and like what the photographer was trying to do, but believe that a winning shot is possible, it's just not this one. I thank you for sharing, and and enjoyed viewing not only this shot, but in particular, the portfolio, thanks, K

I like it soooo verrry much. Simple, Simply Brilliant.

I love the shot, but I'm finding that there may be just a little bit too little contrast/difference between the car and the background. It's an exceptional pan job, but I wonder... if you had panned for a milisecond longer would the buildings in the background still be visible? It might have helped isolate the car. Maybe you can bring the contrast up in photoshop or.... hold it.... I have the perfect thing... do an ansel adams to it. AA used to slightly burn in around the subject. Perhaps if you doged the car abnd burned in the background a bit, the image would improve.

 

Nevertheless, I love the shot, good show,

Absolutely wonderful, and exceptional portrait.
