Striking shot Willem. It is a shame that top of the monument is a little overexposed.

Forlife deprives me the words of the mouth. Simply excellent in all the criteria.
Forlife m'enlиve les mots de la bouche. Tout simplement excellent dans tous les critиres.

Typical (for this subject), but pleasing and dynamic composition.
Colours are very unnatural. The whole shot is heavily oversaturated. And, as Nina noticed already, top of the monument is overexposed.

But it's a great shot though.

Pas gйnant cette surexposition а proximitй de la tuyиre. Lorsque on regarde une fusйe dйcoller on remarque cette trainйe aveuglante.
Le scintillement du soleil sur le fuselage embellit l'image.
Trиs bonne composition.

The angle of this shot is terrific. The nice deep blue of the sky and the few fluffy white clouds make it very impressive.

Colours are certainly over saturated but that doesn't bother me with this image. I view it more as an abstract pattern than a photo of a monument.
I really like the composition.

I've done justice to the memorial with this picture!

Visually pleasing, good dof, good composition, and great atmospheric element. Great shot!

Can't say much to the technique, since I'm not much of a photographer - it's just a hobby. Might be well positioned or overexposed or undersaturated. I just think it looks nice...

Great picture! I like the angle of the monument and the sharp colors. Fine touch with the sun reflecting at the top of the monument.

Well seen, well captured!

Willem,

Great shot! Composition is just right, with the monument frames against the blue sky. The clouds add an extra dimension. The star burst of sunshine on the space craft is the final touch - excellent!

Your shot was featured in this evenings TE front page.

what a great monument!!!!!

Dyerco (10185) 2007-08-14 20:33

Nice strong diagonal line here that gives a dynamic feel to the image. I like the starlight on the rocket at the top. It finishes it off just like the top of a Christmas tree.

Well Done Willem
