Flight of the Bumblebee II [1173 Special Effects]
Uploaded: October 26, 2004 23:30:41
Sometimes, in spite of all the best efforts, after a shot uploads it just isn't quite right. That was the case with this one. A few small anomalies appeared and just wouldn't leave me alone until they were repaired. - This is a repaired version of a shot I presented a few days ago. Thanks for your many kind comments on the original version! ... I've preserved your feedback to the original version below.
Dan Holm October 26, 2004
Terrific shot, Dan! You've captured moments very well! Never seen a shot as splendid as this one! I love the clarity, lighting and framing of this image! Very well done, my friend!Sanjay Pindiyath

Nicely done Dan! I really like the blurred fingers and keys moving, along with the strong horizontal lines. The black background makes the silver highlights really stand out.

Beautiful capture, Dan! Those flying fingers look great next to the fine shine of the instrument, and the black bg sets the image off dramatically.

Dan, I can't imagine how you improved the original...I studied them both a moment ago, and your eye is even more observant than previously thought, if you "caught" anything amiss on this.Dan Holm October 27, 2004
Wow, you're quick, Mary!! There were a few little glitches in the original that kept getting bigger to my eye every time I looked at it. Eventually, that's all I saw. ... I feel much better about this revision! ... Thanks so much for your feedback! I appreciate it! ... Can't wait to see "Kismet"! #871678S J October 27, 2004
This is gonna be a winner for sure!!! Hard to tell the difference on this one! Great work, Dan! A pleasure to see it again! #871679Jordi Delgado October 27, 2004
Don't know what was wrong with the previous version, my eyes are not as sharp as yours, that's for sure!! :-)) #871685Donald K. Cherry October 27, 2004
I'm the same way, Dan...the smalest details bug me until I fix them...I even lose sleep thinking about how to make it better...well, like Jordi, I too didn't see anything wrong with the original, it's still a wonderful shot! #871732Paul Michko October 27, 2004
The first one looked good to me, but you are the artist here. This one is still fantastic, Dan. #871738Wayne Brasch October 27, 2004
Wow, wonderful work Dan. The sense of finger movement really makes this image. Wonderfull detail. #871763

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
