Photography -- Re: PF Exhibit Update 26-04-08

Rand,

The sharp mark was triggered in my mind because the sky diver was sharper than the peoples on the ground who show motion blur. The plastic tube run by a fan was part of the finish line. The checkered tail was just part of the sky diver's display but I could clone it out in Photoshop for aesthetic reason if I was going to print the picture. I never been good with titles. People have said that is the weakest part of my photography. Perhaps I should title it Skydiver At Festival.

Roy Miller - Sky Diver Is Sharp Enough To Hit Mark

Nice snapshot. But if the “mark” the skydiver is trying to hit is the red/yellow/white pole, it appears that s/he is going to miss it. If there is another “mark,” it isn’t in the photo and it is difficult to assess the accuracy of the skydiver.

I find the checkered tail-like object behind the skydiver a bit distracting because I don’t know what it is. The parachute is not complete, but at least it is implied by the extra lines, so that is not a distraction. In fact, I like that effect.
