This is taken right outside my house.
We get such nice sunrises all year long.

The raptor is invisible, but it's in there............. Ya.

Yay for small pictures.

Excuse me

Swoop - I sent you a PM to apologize - your picture is so good it looked Photoshopped. My Mistake...

"Marine on Land" - Absolutely gorgeous shots of your Silver Raptor. I think all three are worthy of a winning contest photo... I do like #3 the best. The Raptor is lit nicely while the exposure on the sunset id spot on. The sun coming between the palms is an extra bonus.

My favs so far are:
1) Marine on Land # 3 - Just Awesome!
2) CineSLR your first image is awesome with the reflection off the door as well as the location and sunset.
3) IRunOne # 4 - I like the sunset and the framing of this shot.
4) Swoop Fighter Jet Image
5) Raptizzle - Always Fantastic...
6) Nacho - Awesome German Shot

Thanks! It's not often I get to take photos for fun anymore. Usually, it is kids or work stuff. I stole the reflection idea though. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery after all!

I'm pretty sure it's safe to say the submissions thus far represent some of the highest quality pics we've seen for the ROTM contests! It's great to see everyone steppin' their game up. :005:

I'm still cracking up over Garys chop of my truck on the beach. May just be avatar worthy!

I just went and looked through all 8 pages of this thread once again. There are some INCREDIBLE pictures on this month's contest!

I'd like to say a "Congratulations to everyone that posted", because I think that we're all winners. I don't even think I can vote - there are way too many that are just amazing!

I just did the same as swoop and want to 2nd what he said. Great shooting guys/gals!! The one Big J opened up with is a great one!


If this shot doesn't show how badly I need a stubby, I don't know what would... :waytogo:
