- Really love this and the amount of hard work thats gone into creating this image, a good dynamic action shot with good position and although I suspect a composite image its very effective and balanced Well done

- Love this, very simple but effective capture with some imagination behind it to create not only an image but also tell a story, a different type of image that is good to see.

- My name is Derek McCoy. I took this photograph while traveling through a rural neighborhood outside of Auburn, Alabama. I shot a number of frames without the fence in the foreground, but thought this one was most effective in substantiating my curiosity–what is the story behind this car? Gear: Canon 5DM2, Canon 28-70mm f2.8. Basic processing in Adobe Bridge.

- A very dramatic photograph with a human element to it, good to see different people trying and submitting shots that capture a moment so well.

- Great rig shot that not only uses the motion from the rig but also uses the background and light to add even more drama, very well put together

- Its a unusual shot and for that reason it got my attention, I love the use of the light to blow the scene slightly and the textures and interest for the interior that this produces, well done

- Thank you for the mark of excellence! I absolutely fell in love with this photo. This was taken at the Lemay Famliy Collection. If you are ever in WA and love cars this is a must visit. This beautiful girl was off to the side in what I would call the "car graveyard". I could see how the light was hitting it and must have taken 30 shot from all different angles but this was favorite. Beautiful light and interesting interior. I took this with my Rebel T3i, 50mm 1.4 lens I believe. Minimal post processing, made the highlights a little creamy and uped the saturation a bit. Thanks so much for taking a look at my work.

- Dramatic but what I like best is the photographer has given this the space in the frame to be more effective and thats good to see.

- My name is Dawn Hagler and I live in Tucson, Arizona. I had never seen the Blue Angels perform before so we decided to take a drive to El Centro, CA to see their show in March of 2014. This was one of the planes that performed before the Blue Angels. I use a Nikon D90 and took this picture with my 55-300 mm telephoto lens. In Photoshop Elements, I did a little bit of cropping to get rid of some empty space at the bottom. I also added a little contrast and sharpened it.

- So many thanks to the jury and Tim, for chosing my photo for the TOP10. We've lightpainted the Chrysler 300C SRT8 with an simple 160 LED-Video Light. The Photo was taken with a Canon EOS 7D and the 24-105mm Lens. I think it was made with 4 or 5 shots.
