September '08 Photo of the Month Contest.

[FireFighterFSFD]

Ok guys Wizard sent me a message asking me to step in as a judge for this month.
I just want to say first that I really had a hard time picking the "ONE" that stood out the most just becuase there is like 8 that really is a great shot. Not to mention that narrowing it down to that was hard enough because there was just too many that looked really nice.

So....... here is what I was looking for while trying to pick the winner.
I think that the pictures that you might find in a ad or on a poster are the ones that draw you in too it and make you look twice.

First place and the the winner of this months contest goes to Jgetz1680

just because the plane really glows with its bright colors against the nice sky. It kinda makes you turn your head and look at it or a few seconds and would make a neat poster for a fly-in with some writing on each side of it or something.
Second place goes to Rthrbeflyn

I liked this one because you can not go out and just reproduce it in an attemept to get a better shot. Its the timing that makes you want to look at it twice. Great shot and sorry for the loss.
Third place goes to Chrome350

This picture tells you what the hobby is all about, Just haven fun. It kinda gives off that father and son feeling when you see it.
The honorable mentions were all great shots and really made this a challange to pick what was the best piture. Anyway guys great job to everyone.





Thanks guys and look forward to seeing who is going to in the October contest

Yep it is a Ziroli, I think it has 2 zenoah 45's in it, the pic was taken about 8 weeks ago here in Australia, it is built and flown by one of our local pilots Steve Thomas. The high resolution copy of the pic is awesome.
