hey,

I really loved that shot from crumbso, and it looks like I'm not the only one!
so what do you think, should it go to the gallery?

Although it is a very realistic shot I think this one does not belong in the Gallery. I feel that the shot sould've been zoomed out more so it would show the entire chopper. Also the edited black corners does not add anything to the shot; it makes the shot too dark in my opinion.

Rather than saying "Oh that looks soo real" take a look at the complete shot, not only the detailed model or photorealistic skin ...

see it that way:

you'were flying your baron from an island to another to go fishing, then you get caught in a huge storm, with no way to escape.
you try to go through hoping everything will go allright, but you get lightining striked and your engines shut down.
bad day...
you have to ditch... and spend 18h in the water waiting for somebody to rescue you.
you have nothing to drink or eat, and have to swim to stay alive.
you're getting really really tired, suffering from lack of water...and sleep deprivation... you start to give away, getting sleepy...
you hear something...
you look up but you can't really see...
your eyes and your brain don't work properly anymore...
you just see that big yellow thing hovering over you, and realise you will survive...

that's a true story I've seen on discovery last week.
and that's what that shot is looking like for me.

I may get flamed/hated for this, but I really don't see what all the hype aurrounding this shot is coming from. What's so great about it? ??? Yes, the chopper textures are very nice, and its a dramatic shot. But the blades look strange, like they are motionless, but have some blurriness around them. Is that supposed to indicate motion? The black in the corners makes it obvious that a rendered light filter was used, and makes the entire shot seem staged. In my opinion, it would look better with some menacing clouds in the background. Finally, composition wise, everything is tight. Like has been said, it is too zoomed in because of the crop job; the chopper has no room to "breath", and then there's that tail fin thats cut off....

While its still a very nice shot, it doesn't make me go Shocked

.
I think some of Crumbso's other shots in that same post were better, like the first F-4 shot, and the F-117 shot. I prefer both of those to this one.

Ok, flame away, I got my flame-protection suit on. 8)

PS: As I'm sure you already guess, this is a "no" from me. Wink
