This picture doesnt really meet the cool color objective. The subject is black, which isnt a cool color.

Shot is too centered. Great exposure of the sky and clouds though.

This kind of shot demands dead-on symmetry. The sky is well done.

Thank you to everyone that left feedback on the pictures.

In response to the all DNMC's, i feel this shot did infact meet the challenge perfectly (pawdrix, i wish i thought of your idea before i posted it). I feel that a portrait can be of any subject, therefore this plane was a valid subject, and its environment, the lonley atmosphere.

Cool shot and I love teh contrast of the jetwash on the black sky. However, I don't feel this meets the challenge discription of a portrait.

I'm sure you've heard it all before....?

I think this shot of a Pilot flying his plane meets the Challenge dead on despite all the DNMC's you are getting. The expression on his face is priceless...one of humor, contol and total confidence. I would feel completely safe flying with him behind the controls. Good Luck, 10.

Thank you to everyone for the helpfull comments and the generous votes. I feel as my first post i did better than anticipated.

To answer several PM's and a few comments, this cup was not placed on the ground, i found it lying there on the walk to the train from work. It felt almost right to take a shot of it.

good shot, but not exactly a portrait...
