great shot

Other than needing a bit of noise touch-up in the shadow areas, this is by far one of the best story-telling photo's in this competition...well done author...great photo

Thank you!!

Congrats on 1st place, great shot.

Wow! Thank you to all that voted

A beautifl effect. You are doing some great HDR

Thank you very much! I am having a hard time with ones that have the sun behind them that shows a tad but will figure it out hopefully

Appears to be a dry water ride, not an actual roller coaster, but neat effect anyway

Yea its a rollercoaster. Has wheels n all. It doesnt go upside down but has a fast rolling track before going to water but thanks.

Don't know who the author is, but I feel the HDR has been overdone on what is probably an amazing shot. The sky is just too muddy, IMO

I agree. The HDR on this one I knew would be hit or miss and myself even though it needed more blacks and the sky was blah. Fell in love with the coaster going by but the sky was too much. Thank you for making up my mind for me. I have changed the pic. What do you think now?

oh and I got away from the HDR on this one. It wasn't working right.

Glad you did... I am a fan of HDR but you got a higher vote without it here.

Definitely much better

great shot, I want to go for a ride.

nice composition, and colors... well done
