Long time no post, but here is one

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

To my mind it’s not how technically perfect a shot is but what it means to the photographer as a memory. With this shot Marcos you have captured that memory and even better you have shared it with us all - I like :)

thank you Sirch, I'll have some more later this coming week. Maybe I should ask how can I make this type of shot a better one?

To be perfectly honest there is no way anyone could advise on taking a better shot. The situation you have caught in your shot would be hard to replicate as it is a one off shot. I assume you were in a plane or chopper and not a very tall pole :)

I would say that taking as many pics as possible whilst in a situation would be one simple answer. This would give you the opportunity to pick the best shots from the series.

In my position of taking pics in a professional position I always take a whole series to enable me (or the client) to pick the best one :wink:

Thank you for your answer, and yes the more pics the better :-), I was in a helicopter, surprised I was that didn't came out with camera shake, since the copter was shaking like a "maraca" in Rio de Janeiro festival
