The background is too blurry. It looks like everything is moving in this piece, with nothing stationary except the tip of the gun. Reply »

The moving background actually gives this piece a great feel of motion. Stunning work author, everything is perfect. Reply »

MossyB is right, but still it is great work! Reply »

Its cool, but not perfect. Take care of the details if you photoshop guys. This is a great picture, but the bullet is wrong. The casing is still attached to the bullet instead of flying out the gun. I dont want to be negative, because this is good photoshopping, but i like it when people pay attention to detail. Reply »

I really like this one and hope there is an sbs to come. I would hate for this to get disqualified. Good luck! Reply »

I would like to give my opinion in a positive way. your work is great, but you could fix some details to improve your work. first: the rules says that the background must stay still and the subject must be in movement. in my opinion, only the bullet without the case and the pieces of paper should have movement. the rest of the image should be still. Ill hold my vote for now. good luck. Reply »

Very nice but the idea was for the background to be clear and the subject to show movement. Reply »

nice on e -- always great to see my favourite aircraft -- brings back memories of my very first flight with my father at the controls and me as "Copilot" age about 5 or 6 Reply »

Nice job! A Gooney Bird as they were called. If you'd like to add a little smoke it would add a touch of realism, but that is not really needed. Reply »

it's about time they close the door at the back and that they take away the blocks at the left wheel. Otherwise it will make circles! Reply »

I would have rotate the pic so it´s "standing". Gets more feeling that he is falling then. Nice otherwise. Reply »

Reply:

I like the odd angle. I had to look at the image for a few seconds to "get" it, and then when I did, it was somewhat surprising/shocking! Good job! Reply »

Reply:

very nice work author...Very good combination of 2 sources and movement is very good made...Good luck Reply »

Reply:

Think u've done a great job..seeing as he doesnt only is falling down. but actually is moving..as u would do if u'd fall..i think'....trying to fly or something..know i would..anywayzz, think u did a great job..maybe i would change his uhm starters point..its already obvious hes coming from up there >.

It's crazy and well done! Btw, is it an accident or is he a suicide? Reply »

Reply:

good work but I agree with the idea to rotate it right. Reply »

Thank you very much for the remarks . Reply »

Beautiful... Reply »

I can't make out what is flying. It looks like either just a bird wing, or a dead bird. Now that I studied your SBS, I can barely make out the woman, but the wings are too large and overdominate the woman, making the image very hard to "read" without seeing the SBS...
Perhaps you could give her face and hair a bit more contrast. Reply »

Reply:

Even if i don`t understand what`s happen in this pics it looks beautifull..... Reply »

Reply:

EDIT DONE ... changed so much that the SBS is not very applicable to this image. Sorry about that, I did not have time to change it. It still shows that I did the work and gives details of my first image.

Author I have to be honest that it took me 5 minutes too to actually see what was flying there (and I watched the SBS a couple of times and wondered how you used the sources). Somehow you have a kind of visual illusion here, either you see it or you don't

Nevertheless I really like this entry, visually it is good, has some mystery in it and makes you want to look again. The motion could be a bit better, looks like she's photographed with a stroboscoop now, if there would be anything you want to improve I'd say have a look at that again Reply »

Reply:

Okay ... tried some changes. I think it is better but I believe Rob is right. When you look at something a long time you have a vision of what it looks like but it only you can see it. Sometimes it is not a good vision LOL!

Please let me know if you think it is better??? Reply »

Reply:

think it is more recognisable now what is flying there Reply »

Reply:

Hey Rob! Thanks! Just one question, is the motion blur better? I worked on that too! Reply »

Reply:

To be honest If I were you I'd keep the original entry for my personal portfolio (I liked it better) but also think you made the right choice to change it for this contest. Think you have to search for a photo which has got motion blur on it and see how that looks like on a photo, it will give more a blur trail. Reply »

Reply:

Much better! You can clearly make out the woman, and the motion looks more "moving," to fit the statement.
Great improvement! Reply »

Reply:

I could be a "stop-motion" image, or a "slow-motion". Very beautiful, and it makes our imagination fly away... Reply »

oh, very nice one... Reply »

Fantastic entry author...i did not saw the previous version/versions but this one is powerful...well done Reply »

Thanks Nator. I was unsure about the changes so it is really great to get positive feedback now that they are done. Reply »
