October Photo Comp - October Theme is "Your Best Photo Ever" Vote OFF

[keith_d]

I'm not sure what constitutes my best picture ever, so I might change my mind before the end of the month.

That's a hard one! I have a lot of pics which are irreplaceable (which I think is the essential feature, because it truly captures a special moment in time) on top of mountains etc. Although nowhere special (a marina in Alicante), the chick's expression in this one I don't think I would ever be able to invoke again, nor make her replicate (and she's an actress)! I did some HDR stuff and colour stuff.

From back in the day.

Honda tech's pull off a last minute motor swap between races and rider Miguel DuHamel goes on to sweep all three US Superbike events that day.
Awesome effort!!!

Last entry tomorrow night Midnight 25th October - Then the Vote off can start.

Fantastic photos this month - Well done to Everyone.

No.77 James Ellison coming out of Club Chicane at a very wet Friday BSB practice. Despite the poor conditions they were all still giving it the beans onto the start/finish 'straight'.

The Akra pipes gave the R1 the most fantastic howl as he pinned the throttle!

Hmm, deceptively tricky topic this month. I'm gonna simplify things for myself and go with "best" as most popular on flickr and that comes in the form of this one:

Into the fire

Into The Fire by Brettus - Brettnet.co.uk, on Flickr

Taken almost 4 years ago now by a friend and I heading to an abandoned WWII compound and trying various light painting tricks, this was one of the simplest but most striking. 10 second exposure of my friend Andy spinning steel wool which has been ignited with a battery, what made this one different was that the "sparks" were contained just within the mouth of the corridor with just enough flying off to keep it interesting and add movement to it.

Viney for some strange reason :0) I loved it

After much deliberation I'm gonna have to give my vote to Sir_Trev, I love shots from different angles and isolating details that I just can't pick up on it seems (I've tried to emulate them but never quite make it work)

Viney gets 2nd for a similar reason, interesting framing and I love the blue.
3rd spot goes to Keith_D as I'm very jealous of the opportunity to photograph lions and that is a perfectly timed shot.

I can see why each and every entry is a source of pride for everyone, they are all really nice shots, definitely a good topic this month!

Minimorcombe for me. I thought it was the mutt looking at a painting... Not a reflection.
