Okay guys I warned in the other thread that this weeks judge was not well versed in the finer points of the photographic arts, so if you aren't the winner ... blame the judge! :lol2:

A bunch of good shots in the assignment thread as well which tells me I'm not the only one around here who looks up whenever he hears an airplane :sun:

Andy you picked one of my favorite airplanes for your entry. I love watching the Air Tractor at work and trying to capture them with the camera. Belly shots always disappoint me when I take them. I really liked the first pic you posted in the assignment thread better especially if you could of got that branch in the foreground out of the shot.

Xdriver How did you know big round engines are one of my favorite things? The use of B&W really adds to the tug on my heartstrings.

Scott Amazing shot as usual. So amazingly sharp and probably the best drone shot I've seen and over the last year I've seen so many!

Jar675 Great shot of another flying favorite of mine. Just too many things going on all around the focal point. I don't know how you could have done it any different but just too many distractions in there.

My nod goes to Xdriver. Well done sir :clap:

Glad you enjoyed my photo. I'm currently without bike, do I still get to pick a topic?

Nice try Sean :doh:

but I don't think motorcycle ownership is required for forum participation. :trust:

If he hasn't already M38A1 will be along with a tutorial PM to help you get it started. Judging wasn't as painful as I feared and no one has made any disparaging remarks ... Yet :lol2:

It was hard to get a picture in there with just one plane. The amount of aviation in the building was amazing. Here's a couple more.

I thought about using this one.
