OcUK Photo Comp - Season Nine : Round Nine - "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" RESULTS

Cheers for the comments. The processing to hide detail was intentional, I wanted the focus to be on the aircraft rather than a lot of the clutter. I guess I went a bit too far! :D

I had yours picked as my winner, with Sloth's and Robert's as close seconds. I think the processing is spot on! :)

I like it. Good processing and interest.

A strange image as the clouds feel 90 degrees out from where they should be in relation to the plane.

Spot the plane comes to mind, with such a small subject it’s a good job the colours have come out well with an interesting cloud formation.

Thanks for the comments. Not sure I understand the middle one, though given the low scores I'll assume it was a criticism.

Nice B&W and a good contrast conversion - good composition and an effective image.

B&W is not working for me here and unless it was at night I think it detracts form your framing and focus.

I like this, it makes for a striking and interesting picture, just not sure on the B&W whether it adds or not. Would like to see the colour version.

Thanks judges, was taken at night (well 8pm - I can't go out during daylight atm with an eye problem) so the circuits slight lighting caused odd blue and yellow casts. Hence the B&W.

Good use of blur in the image to give a sense of movement. Effective image, if a little mundane.

A great effort with the lens zoom effect but I'm not sure that the selective colour works in your favour.

For the selective colouring to really add another twist to this image, I think the front of the bus should be sharp and in focus.

Good points, it'd have to be something I play with more to get the front in focus as I was trying zoom in and out during shots to get the right effect. I couldn't quite nail it but with practice may be I will. My best shot and score so far on here so I'm pleased.

Thanks for the constructive comments, much appreicated. :)

edit: well done to slothmeister, soon as I saw it I knew that'd it'd win.

edit2 : just noticed that there's no random image from 2BL this round, has he gone to ground?
