frank w. degenhardt October 23, 2010

Jeff- First of all that is not a ride you will ever find me on. I really love both versions of the picture, but do think you did an amazing job with the ddr to create that night time feel. I love the power and drama of the sky. The lights, the flags and the pov used and the fantastic action shot as the spin around, all amazing and beautifully done. Remarkable work my friend.
Have a terrific weekend, take care. #8991048
