Awesome selection of shots! :)

But, I must've missed the part(s) of the entry rules that allowed for no 'Fall color', or more than one (or no) props. ::)

Ima gonna hafta get me a new 'puter.....this one doesn't show all of the ruling "fine print".

Foul! Rules called for single engine aircraft only.  2 of these finalists should be disqualified and replaced with legitimate entries.  :(

OMG people get over yourselves! They asked for LOW & SLOW. Not low and slow with only single engine props. Even in their example they used a helicopter and that has 2 props.

Some people are better at thinking outside the box than others.

Quite. The rules are perfectly clear if you read them properly.

We want to see a shot of a single engine prop plane skimming the tree line under an October Sky, a Beaver flying the bush on some remote destination or a Helicopter on a "Scenic Fall Tour". It is a "colorful" time of year so let's see some creativity in regards to your set up. October skies will offer great sunsets along with the changing of the leaves which will provide you with a great opportunity for that perfect shot! Any type of shot that includes your prop plane or whirlybird flying low & slow while taking in the sights is what we are looking for so...

Well stated I reckon.  If I was site owner/moderator then I s'pose I could pick and choose what rules to stick to, or bend, or outright fracture.

But, if such turns out to be the case, then put it out there ahead of time that complying with the rules is strictly voluntary and subject to owner/mod discretion.  Sorta brings up a bit of integrity issue when something turns out like this.

Perhaps the next next contest should have 'guidelines' instead of "rules", that way there's the built in caveat.

I'm jus' sayin'.....

Anyway!  All that aside, this is truly a great site!  I, for one, apreciate it very much, as I am sure a lot of others do!  I have found a LOT of solutions for FSX maladies and dilemmas here. And that has almost turned flightsim from a hobby for me to almost an "addiction"!  :D

That's my $0.02 worth.

This is ridiculous. As I mentioned earlier the rules for this comp were perfectly clear. Perhaps someone would care to show me which particular ones were bent. ::)

Great shots all. But I think one shot is a cut above. Ready to frame and hung on the wall of the HOF. ;)
