Welcome back Vicki!!! Well, I must be in a way different mood than everyone else as I've taken a more serious view of your image. My first impulse was " a powerful and dramatic shot"..still is. It's a super shot, but it instills,for me, a sense of loss of power in that the hand appears ominous. An emotional shot for me. Well done by you!

Creative shot. I am interested to see the original shot instead of a photoshoped one. But great idea none the less. Have to agree with comment above. This shot is just on that cusp of about to be released chaos. The threat of doom. Creative thinking. Good luck with the competition.

Cindy, thank you for saying this...As I worked on this, I could not help but think of Americas loss on 9-11...I started to title this "Beware", but decided to use the name of the sculpture because I think this could say a million words for all of us to "Be Awake!"...We lost a friend in one of those planes that day as so many others did! I was hesitant to enter the image, since it can provoke emotion...but decided to go ahead....My other shot with the helicopter is on film...I will try to figure out soon how to add it on to this discussion... Helicopters fly back and forth constantly over the sculpture and look like they are flying into and out of the hand...Please feel free to make any comments you would like to....and thanks to you all who have posted!

I think photography should provoke different emotions..my first thought was 911 and it upset me. Then, the other side is the skill of presenting an image with emotion, which, is very well done! design today..

My first thought was - what impeccable timing, before reading what you wrote, Vicki! Now I'm thinking - what impeccable PS manipulation!! Whatever the feeling the image invokes, it remains an impeccably composed shot, Vicki! Slightly ominous, true, but I didn't really think of Sept 11 (I was actually in NYC when it did happen, so maybe I'm just trying to block it out).

Wow, Vicki! Way to generate a discussion! You go, girl! :) It is a wonderful image. I can't tell that it was manipulated at all! Only 7 more teaching days and I'm hitting the road! We'll have to get together again.

A very thought-provoking image, Vicki. It really points out that the events of 9-11 are far reaching and will continue to revisit us in many aspects of our lives. Very nice photo and PS work!!

I take it as serious, too. My first thoughts were Sept. 11 and the destruction that followed. This photo is emotional. WHich is GREAT! Emotions don't all have to be good. Beautiful work.

First of all I want to say I love this shot... Everytime I see a shot of a jet, I can't help but think of 9/11 and if it weren't for 9/11 I wouldn't have this aweful gut feeling for shots of jets. It's just a split second of remembering those planes hitting the towers...but it goes away quickly and I am back to present time and can appreciate the humor you have conveyed. I am sorry for your loss of a friend on that jet but am glad you can still present a photo like this after the loss, showing that we can move on and we won't let terrorist stop us from being our creative selves. Congrats on being a finalist! ~:O)
