i like the composition & all the strange reflections but the contrast with the round black bit (?!) is so strong I find it hard to look at anything else.

bevhiron, lol that round pit is jet engine. And it was black as night, I kind of mentioned it to draw attention, but true, its in the edge to draw attention too much. .n

I like the round thingy and the black tires under it, almost a "picture in a picture". :-)

Beautiful for its POV, composition, tones, and I agree with sweetwonW's remark of "picture in a picture". Yet, I have to ask this: a manipulation of just a "light blurring" does so much to an image..?! I'm astonished and liked it very much, because you're using such softenings in your images quite often (as far as I was able to observe), and I always thought that they were rather complicated layering techniques (BTW, my knowledge of Photoshopping is so very limited)... :)

Doruk, nothing complicated with that blur effect. Just duplicate original layer, do heavy gaussian blur to upper layer, adjust transparency to ~20-40 and voila. I usually do few different blurred layers and few with different contrasts. .n

I like this one a lot, despite the fact that it reminds me of my fear of flying (more like fear of falling). Look at the skid marks! (*
