[edit] Human Cannonball
Pretty good image of a not too easy subject - a person being shot out of a cannon!

- Comment Could you tilt the pic a little to get the pillars vertical? The "dutch angle" isn't so appropriate here. Pity you don't have the whole cannon in the shot - great timing, though! --Janke | Talk 09:52, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- Comment I rotated the image myself (4.7 degrees clockwise), but the amount of cropping that needs to be done really throws off the composition of the image. You lose everything below the white ad board, and it looks funny, so I didn't upload it. ~MDD4696 (talk •contribs) 22:53, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- OK. The reason its at a bit of a funny angle is because I was quite startled at the noise of the explosion and must have lost my balance a little. Good thing I still pressed the shutter! --Fir0002 08:07, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose, since nothing can apparently be done to the composition. --Janke | Talk 07:48, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose - tilted. Flcelloguy (A note?) 21:32, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose. I'm sure it was a difficult shot, but it's not very well composed and unpleasantly tilted. Not up to FP standard. Camerafiend 02:53, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose as above. enochlau (talk) 15:21, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment, as above, I took the image, rotated it and then cropped it. It looks better I think, but it still seems "off". —Locke Cole 08:06, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- comment. Maybe someone can get it where the background of the stadium is moved AND the cannon adn person so they line up better. I think that may make it look better.schyler 21:05, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
