wow...amazing shot! very....unusual..:)

Beamer (Clyde Beamer) added a critique 19 days ago:

Great moment, very nicely captured!! The composition should be either a little tighter of looser. The end of the bolt just touching the top of frame and the black at the bottom of the yellow band showing at the bottom are both distracting.

Thanks for the positive feedback.
To get this shot I was using the fast capture mode and firing away. This was taken with my 200mm lens as he was up on the pole above me. Took me about 10 min to follow him around and find a composition and body movement that worked. I don't have to worry about scaring him as he teases my dog and is used to me following him after i put the dog inside.

Beamer,

Good point about the crop. This is a crop from the original and I will have to look at what improvements could be made! Thanks!

Love the blue sky and the warm tones. Amazingly clear action shot - great detail. Good job!

Sounds like you went to a lot of effort to create this image, Mike. It was well worth the effort because the colour and composition here is very striking. Well conceived and executed.

the coloring is amazing

mikeock (Mike Adams) said 19 days ago:

Thanks for the great comments!

AmberDawn (Amber Sullivan) added a critique 12 days ago:

I really like the colors and composition on this photo. I know very little about photo editing, so not sure what all you did - but good job!

mikeock (Mike Adams) said 12 days ago:

Thanks for the comment Amber.
All that was done is the properly exposed portion of each frame is selected then masked so that only the correctly exposed portion is shown.
this is done with multiple layers until you get a result such as the above.

Sadly, It seems this store may be doomed to close.
Over the past 3-4 years numerous alcohol sale violations have been committed here leading to a 90 day suspension starting Aug. 1st. From what the owner says, beer and wine are the biggest sales of the store.

Thanks for the comment Jim.
Hindsight, i noticed the cut off fin.
The color is due to underexposing to get it without any highlight clipping. I probably could remap the colors for a more pleasing solution....

Beamer (Clyde Beamer) added a critique 2 months ago:

I agree about the composition, but as I see the trunk is open, a looser compo might not have been that attractive either. Beautiful tones, beautiful car!!

mikeock (Mike Adams) said 2 months ago:

Thanks for the comment Clyde!
Great ideas for the next round!

stilfoto (Stefan Nielsen) added a critique 1 month ago:

I would acturally prefer to cut it a little more in the top - to get rid of the trunk door. And then I would crop it close to the taillight too. This gives a cleaner composition imo. And the colors could use a little more punch...

stilfoto,

Thanks for the comment and suggestions!
