We're going to have to keep that camera sir, if those shots with the manhole cover get out, we're all going to be in trouble!~

Cindi Smith		28-Sep-2006 23:31
Really? You got in trouble? Glad you didn't get hit or thrown in jail!

John Beck		28-Sep-2006 22:30
Hehe. LOL. A great picture. Maybe the manhole cover is made of some unique metal? Maybe the challenge SHOULD set up a bail fund. :-) I mean, supermarkets, manhole covers...what's next? Did I say, it's a great picture. Like it.

Guest		28-Sep-2006 22:28
Your touch in this image, Kent. Very well done.

Guest		28-Sep-2006 22:01
lol, oh dear. when challenges become reality! Love the motion.

Guest		28-Sep-2006 21:53
absolutely perfect! I love the motion - you can feel the city hummm in this one!

royalld		28-Sep-2006 21:16
Great shot, BTW. You definately caught the tempo of the city.

royalld		28-Sep-2006 21:13
Paranoia is running rampant. One county had an all-out manhunt for a guy who took a picture of a school bus a few weeks ago. Soon photographers will only be able to take self-portraits.

nordic		28-Sep-2006 21:09
All in the name of art! Super shot.

Neil Horner		28-Sep-2006 21:02

Wow, I never would have thought taking a pic of a manhole cover would be against the law...! Brilliant capture & interpretation!

beverley harrison		28-Sep-2006 20:31

Jola Dziubinska		28-Sep-2006 20:11
Excellent movement effect, super color.

Dan Chusid		28-Sep-2006 20:02
You could have almost stepped 'under' the line here. A little urban exploring anyone?

Guest		28-Sep-2006 19:40
Very nice challenge shot here. I love to movement.

J. Scott Coile		28-Sep-2006 19:36
