Favorite shot of '08

jeffreaux2

I shot this image for the weathered or polished DSS Challenge earlier in the year. Unfortumately, due to a series of events that I never quite figured out it became watermarked and was disqualified from the final voting....though it did make the finalists list. Nevertheless, it's an image that I am very proud of.

It is perhaps my best "non-portrait" that I have ever captured, and so I am sharing it once again.

Happy Holidays Dgrinners!!!

Yeah, Jeff, that was a dandy shot. I think you would have come close to winning with that one.

I remember that shot, vaguely. Wasn't it a series? Do you have a link to that series? Nice symmetry!

And happy ho ho to you!

That's an incredible shot.

A winner in my eyes.

I am pretty sure that the spirit of the POY contest is for one member to nominate a photograph from a fellow member. At least that is the way I understand them. I have already chosen a photograph to nominate......shot by a fellow Dgrinner...if I can locate the original post!

Tell me if I have gotten it wrong?

I had originally posted three shots....in a poll in the challenges threads...asking for votes to decide which one to run.....in the midst of that poll...the way our polls work was changed, and I was no longer able to view the results and so I removed the shots to keep folks from wasting time voting in a poll I would never be able to see the results of...


Here are it's sisters...

I agree with your number one. But I also like two.

I did as well, but...

The first exhibited a bit more on the degree of difficulty. Technically, it required more thought before and after the shot.

Lucky that back window was busted out!:D

Absolutely beautiful shots, Jeff. All three of them.

Sorry to hear you were disqualified Jeff, I can see why it's a favourite.
Rust is just sooooo photogenic, you did a great job with this one.

It's like time stands still with these old cars left to the elements to take it's toll ....... beautiful shot .... Skippy
