Great shot!

Nice close up.

nice idea.

Nice idea.

I like the colors. Very nice.

I agree.... had great potential.

Very well done... Love the rays coming in from the left.

Nice. B&W works.

This would be awesome in HDR!! Not to say that it isn't now

I like that the apple is in motion. Makes it "real"

Good thing I am not a cop!!

Verrrry nice!!

Excellent idea!!!!!

LOL..... neat idea. GL

Nice shot author.... what did you use to get this?

Not a true story (per snopes.com) but a very funny video.

As a general rule, you are allowed to all adjustments which act on the whole picture and on exactly one picture (a.k.a. non selective editing). This includes:

- 6.2.: Curves
- 6.5.: Color adjustments/shifting
- 6.10.: Sharpness
- 6.13.: Camera raw editing

seems legal.

Nice take on the theme. GL.

Cool... we can do that? Awesome!

Me too please.

Awesome!!

Congrats... very nice shot.

This is great... i am glad this one is the winner... pretty much says "stitching is fine". Which leads to other things being "fine".

Very cool... i am thinking of doing a conversion too.

I am with you on this.... trust me. I have to agree that stitching is not the same as what can be done in photoshop but it is still an image manipulation. It is not the same as having an ultra wide angle lens however, simply due to the fact that lens wasn't used. With this logic I could make a "fake tilt-shift" photo in photoshop and say, "its the same as using an expensive tilt-shift lens". Cutting is different than stiching simply because you are taking away and not adding. By stitching you in fact did "alter the nature of the shot" by adding more shots to the original.

Okay..... in summary... I LIKE THE SHOT AND IT SHOULD STAY!!! I just wanted clarification because I am a huge fan of HDR and have always had to defend some of my shots. In my opinion HDR is the same idea... making a photo with light and dark areas better by bringing the dynamic range up more to what our eyes can see and the camera can't

IR? Very nice.

This HAS to be photoshopped (for stitching purposes). There is no camera I know of that combines 11 shots (per author) into one. I have a point & shoot thats does panoramas with 3 shots (all in camera) but this is wasn't done that way.

Please don't misunderstand.... I gave this a high score and hope it stays... I just want clarification from the author and mods. If this is okay then it opens up the door for more types of pics.... panoramas, HDR, etc.

I hate to be the one to bring it up... but since this isn't a just single shot ("It's a 180° panoramic image made of 11 shots" as per author)... is it legal? I hope so cuz its a great shot. I am just asking for clarification. Still getting a high vote from me!

So long and thanks for the fish........

You got robbed!!!! Love the shot!! Should've been...... uh.... 2nd LOL

Congrats on third.... great lighting!

Congrats for 2nd.

Congrats on 1st.... knew it would win.

Congrats man!! Well deserved!

Not trying to start an argument... but the power is going TO the pole for the pole... not for distribution. I think the author's suggestion meant the size of the pole... not an actual telephone pole. Mods problem... not mine. Nice pic though.

No question.... on theme!

This is cool!! Too bad the towers weren't closer to each other.

Nice capture...... but this doesn't look like a power pole. Those lines look more like stay lines for support. This looks more like a radio/comm tower type. Am I wrong author? Kinda off theme?

To me, I think it has to do with the copper?

Booooo Ati........ NVIDIA all the way. This shot looks good because I am viewing it on an NVIDIA card LOL

Fantastic shot!!!!

Just click in the "raise red flag" box for the ones you dont want. Make sure you type in the box first that you want it removed. The Mods will take care of it.

What...... no flames???? LOL j/k great shot.

Very nice.

This is fantastic... Great shot.. good luck!

Wow... absolutely stunning... oh... the photo is nice too LOL

Hmmmmm... fire again??? Wonder who it is..... LOL

Damn!!!! had the same idea.... delete delete. Great shot!!!!

There ya go.... much better.... oh and welcome to the site.
