I wish my bat (from the night shots challenge) would have stayed as still as your eagle! lol

Comment by Dr.Confuser:
I gave this photo a 1 because it didn't seem to me to fulfill my expectation of a "still life," a classic form of artfully arranged objects. Call me narrow minded but that's the way I see it.

Comment by BeeCee:
A still life generally brings together a number of elements arranged by the artist into an eyecatching grouping. Ignoring that and considering the photo, it's an interesting subject but could be made more striking by increasing contrast. I'd suggest cropping tighter left, both to remove the extraneous bush and to bring the subject out of center, giving more illusion of flight toward the edge of the frame. Maybe check out info on the rule of thirds. Hope this helps :)

Doesn't really meet the challenge, IMO. The composition could be improved as well.

Without a doubt they make engines with the thought creating of something attractive to the eye. The flow of the parts, the complexity, and color. Makes for an interesting shot. Possibly the Mechanics POV?

What kind of engine is this? Diesel or aircraft or what? I don't see any safety wires....... Very clean motor......... good shot

Comment by HBunch:
well..it's a photo of an engine that has some hot spots and some dark shadows, both of which hinder detail. i'm not seeing your interesting point of view. when I pictured 'interesting point of view' I thought about wow factor. I thought about looking at the shot, and saying 'wow...great point of view'. focus seems a bit soft too.probably a result of the poor lighting. just not my kind of shot. that's just a personal preference though.

i like. nice lighting, it looks like you used a flash, but there's something else going on, that gives those golden highlights. those are particularly nice. i wonder what it might've looked like without a flash, with a long exposure maybe. some of my favorite long exposure shots are medium-lit contours and shapes.

You'll probably lose points from some people for not having a title. It a shame because this is a nice shot.

I like the gold highlights. Hard to appreciate POV on something so foreign to me though.
