cool!

friiskiwi says:

nice, but not allowed under present rules.

author says:

I would gladly remove it, but I cannot see where in the rules this is not allowed.....!

avatar friiskiwi
friiskiwi says:

Our rules aren't very clear any more, but I always beleived you were only supposed to use on image, appart from panoramas.

author says:

I am not going to argue with you my, you have been here longer than I, nut I have seen a few images recently where two or more shots have been stitched together. As long as it does break the post editing rules with regards to filters and stuff, I don't see it as problem........imo....!

I've always wanted to go up in a glider. Nice shots, but I agree with friiskiwi. I was always under the impression that we're allowed one shot unless it specifies in the theme that there can be more. This is basically three shots.You could always re-enter the middle one.

author says:

I am sorry, but I have read the rules from top to bottom now, and I can find nothing in them which says I cannot do this. If it is wrong, then red flag it by all means........the one shot on it's own means nothing without the others!

aworld says:

I don't know about the rules and actually would even care here but I don't really understand why you did it. The two on top could have well be by themselves. I think it just does not add any value (i.e. votes) for you here. I bet you will make a higher vote with just single image

author says:

actually, these shots were not that easy to achieve.I don't know if you have ever watched a glider being launched this way, but it is very quick.......you have to be ready just at the right time!

mellanieb says:

The images are great, however unless specified in the contest guidelines only one image is allowed ... would recommend that you change your entry to avoid removal.

author says:

ok, although there is nothing specific in the rules about it, I have changed the image to keep you all happy..........I'm not though! If there is a rule about this, then it should be written for all to see.

avatar friiskiwi
friiskiwi says:

great shot. Since the site changed from PXLshots, the rules aren't written very clearly.

jawshoewhah [banned] says:

They say frames aren't allowed anymore either but that's also not found in the rules. I didn't see the othere image but my ownly suggestion would have been to crop some of the bottom out.

author says:

if I did that Jaws, there would have been no feeling of height in this shot, which is what I was initially trying to achieve............it is an aeroplane after all!!
