my eyes are playing tricks on me! lol i cant tell if the gate is turquoise, blue or green! well, doesnt matter! lol cute dog

lovely

I agree with Kyricom, if you play with the curves a bit and bump up the shadows this could be even better than it is now. Might even go all the way to 11. Great capture!

That is a really nice picture, but it just looked like prairie until I noticed the tractor. Might want to play with curves just a little to make that stand out more. Nice shot, though.

Love the light & focus here..

I go to many moto events, and I know there is a lot of debris in the air. It just looked to me like a high tonal contrast shot, I didn't say it was though. There is a heavy haze in the background, but the motorcycles in the foreground, along with the debris, are very stark. It is still a great capture whatever way you look at it.

Nice sharp image..

this is a great shot, but it looks like a lot of tonal contrast has been used, or maybe high clarity. It sort of takes some of the reality of the shot away for me, and makes it more 'poster' like.

This shot is very similar to one used in another contest but since it is in fact a different shot in a different contest it will be allowed to stay.

Looking at the comments, I have to agree with Cocor. This is a different contest, and it's definitely a different shot, and a good one too. To be honest, I don't actually remember who the author is, I will of course as soon as I vote,, but it's the shot that I remember, and well done for having such a memorable photograph, considering the hundreds we look at each week just on this site.
I will cast my vote.

Actually I think this misunderstanding may arise again in the future: on the one side the contest rules request anonymous shots, on the other one authors usually make several shots of the same thing/event so it would be a pity not to place several nice shots if on theme with different contest themes.
The rule could be "no similar shots in one and the same the same contest" which would allow authors to use different shots (of the same event) in different contests.
Mods' opinion?

I didn't say you had used it before, but is is so obviously taken at the same place and time (more or less) as your very successful recent photo.

great

Used before. Apparently there has been a rule change and you can no longer use the same image again.

Excellent action shot..

I think friiskiwi is right, your shot was great to see in High Res. This one also...

Great shot, but so similar to one you entered recently, that we will all know who you are.

Yeah that's much better! GL!

It's a great photo but honestly think you should crop it much closer. It really would improve the entry. GL!

Sweet, good luck

Looks good, very pro! GL!

Definitely one of the better entries. GL!

nice!

Have a look at High Resolution, it's incredible! Good luck!

Fantastic image!

Great catch! That guy in the background adds a lot too

Great catch. Might crop just a little off the right

great shot

Wow, awesome action capture. Like a shot straight out of a sports magazine = )

very nice shot and good thinking author...well done

Bravely done indeed!

nice shot

*snicker* Yeah, Billy Idol the millionaire capitalist ;-p

hey kyriom,
since you seem to be the expert on rebellion, were is your shot?

How is making lots of money being in a band and singing an act of rebellion?

Excellent pic..

is this rebellion, or part of an act?

nice clear shot!

A different time of the day (sun set maybe would help to create a light/shadow game between the trees) & this would be fantastic.
Still good author!

Love it! Where about is this? I'm trying to find somewhere like this to do a vintage shoot for a friend... my main problem I live in Australia lol

Looks much better now, what iso were you shooting at?

Very nice find and I like it in black and white, it's a bit noisy but I still like this!

There's a forest that looks exactly like this down near my friends house! it was ceartainly a creepy experience going down there at night and you're bringing it all back to me! ahhh!!! - Like this image a lot! Love the corridor of trees!

Oh very nice! I love the capture on this. Definitely captures the theme nicely. Good work!

Wow I never thought about having to produce grass seed! That must make for some beautiful landscapes.

Very nice, I love the tracks in the yard, it reminds me of that movie "Signs"

dang.... someone should really put some money into that place... sure is a nice house to just be sittin there... Nice shot by the way

thats pretty!
