A visitor from United States posted Wed June 13, 2007: 5 Stars! Go NASA! :)
A visitor from United States posted Sun April 8, 2007: What appeals to me is the blue color of the sky contrasting with the brightness of the flame , the composition (which shows the scale of the Shuttle and boosters compared to the rocket blast), and the details (like the small shuttle motors firing next to the mains).
A visitor from United States posted Wed February 28, 2007: This is by far the best shuttle takeoff shot that I have ever seen. High detail, perfect focus, shutterspeed and aperture. Great vertical dimension. I can see this pic as a 5 ft. high poster being sold at the nasa space museum.
A visitor from United States posted Wed February 14, 2007: Ah, gotta love flames twice as long as a football field. :)
A visitor from Germany posted Sun January 28, 2007: Simply amazing
A visitor from United States posted Sat December 16, 2006: Simply amazing! I have never seen such clarity and detail out of any shuttle shot before. I love how you can see the flame from the shuttle's engines!
A visitor from Australia posted Sun October 8, 2006: Well done on capturing the moment. I was there for that launch, and it was difficult to not only keep up with the Shuttle, but to take a shot as clear as this. To see a launch was just fantastic !
A visitor from United States posted Sat September 16, 2006: Perfect composition ! Can almost hear the awesome noise & feel the pressure pulsations as the shuttle lifts off !
A visitor from Sweden posted Tue September 12, 2006: Very powerful image that I could hanging on my wall for inspiration.
A visitor from Switzerland posted Tue September 12, 2006: Very Impressed by the shot! Thx vm Jean! rgds from ZRH robin
A visitor from United States posted Tue September 12, 2006: Crystal clarity. Excellent contrast and saturation. Lovely composition. Everything is "right" with this photo.
