No govind...you didn't hurt my feelings, I just didn't know if you did see the areas of focus. I was panning a shooting a falling, spinning subject and this is how it turned out. the background is oof because of the f/stop had to be widened a bit for a higher shutter speed. Reply »

Shame that you horizons are crooked. Nice try... ouch for that landing. Reply »

Normally I wouldn't submit something with crooked horizions such as a landscape, however, in this case I felt it added to the off-balance and out of control feeling of the falling subject. Reply »

I don't know why people keep getting hung up on horizons and angles all the time...sometimes an angle can add something to the shot, and make it work!!! Reply »

@Ade...yes, I know what you're getting at and I agree, I mean if the horizion is a bit off and it's obvious that the camera was just held a bit crooked; yep, straighten it. But, if the angle is more leaning to the 30+ degree off, it's probably more like the author intends it to be ascew for impact or other artistic purposes. Reply »
