thanks vaibhav

Awww man, this one is going to be some tough competition. Author, I'd be quite shocked if this didn't at least place. Good luck to you!

You have captured a very pretty scene, stunning.

Thanks athousandwords

Thanks fasterlizard

very amazing work

thanks kriti28

great work, I like the orange effect..

Congrats for your first place, Kumar!

Nice idea, the flash is a little too strong, IMO

Nice, but I think it would have more impact with an older, male hand

Agrees with both... great idea though!!

As opposed to welding 2 pieces of wood together?

Or someone's butt-cheeks together? It's an awesome shot author and I was thinking of the same but I know of no welders so good luck!

dang nice shot, did you set a timer on this? or wear a mask too.
Curious on how you shot it.

wonderful

Thank you for your comments, everyone! cabldawg71, I did not set a timer for this. It was taken in my father's garage with dim lighting (but not too dim). I set my exposure for 1/200 and my aperture at about f 5.2. I did in fact wear a facemask and I basically just set my camera for continuous shooting and held the button down while the welder did his thing. After adjusting the contrast a bit in lightroom and cropping it down I was left with the image above. Hope this helps!

It sure does Author, and good luck to you
