This is a very interesting shot. I have not seen this before either. The colors are great and your angle show the action well and frames the power lines in an attractive way. Adding patterns against the blue. The shot tells the story well. Very nice!

It was hard to find a place to take this shot where wires weren't in the shot. The terrain was rocky and hilly. Thanks for giving this image such a wonderful review! :o) Helvi
Comment from Dick Lee Shia
A great journalistic shot!
Sharply focused still motion capture.
Nice blurry propeller suggesting fast movement.
Visually soothing sky lends a perfect backdrop.
Good compositional elements required by the comp theme.
Impressive entry. Potential voters choice... Best of luck in the contest!

A wonderfully taking, nail bitingly closely taken photo of these highly skilled professionals - a really rare sight and captured with great clarity and detail given the circumstances - colours work nicely and the focus is good - great photograph.

Comment from Theo van Stratum
Wow, he is a daredevil.
Nice capture of someone doing a job that requires nerves of steel.
Nice exposure, although maybe a lower shutter speed to make the rotors more blurry?
Good shot though

You're thinking exactly the way I did? You have to have nerves of steel for either of these jobs. A slight mistake can cause both workers their life. I'm glad you enjoyed the shot thank you for the wonderful review! :o) Helvi
Comment from supergold
this is absolutely unbelievable: I didn't even imagine that a helicopter can stay for several minutes perfectly still, without moving;
an excellent capture and obvious winner of the contest;

You're thinking the same thing I did! It was an unbelievable sight for me to. I felt lucky I had a chance to take some pictures of this event. Though I didn't win the contest I did come in third and that meant a lot! Thanks for the wonderful review My Friend!

Comment from angelsanddiscus
Nice moment. A little bit longer then the lens but still an amazing shot of something I have not seen either. There is a lot of detail in this including his life line. That is one scary job. Thanks for sharing.

Quite a dramatic moment captured here in fine style! Your angled central composition gives us a great look at this amazing scene. Sharpness and exposure are fine. Well done and good luck!

I find it more remarkable that people actually do this than that you got this great shot of it. I love the way the wires frame the shot and the great colors. Best of luck in the contest.

Hi michiganmike. I feel the same way! This is definitely what I think of as living on the edge! What a way to make a living! Thanks for the wonderful review and your wishes for the contest!
Comment from iPhone7
Wow. This is some capture. The helicopter looks like an civilian version of the OH-58 used in the military. Those pilots were better than good. This scene had a very dramatic quality about it and gives the viewer a visceral reaction. That is what makes this shot special. Great job and best of fortune in the contest ~ Steve
