It's an Plane! :) (HK Airport)
This is the Hong Kong International Airport. I used a wide angle lens to capture the expanse of the building complex and tarmac of this huge airport. I waited to shoot until the plane in the sky was on the right (or left) location :)

nice compo and very sharp! HKIA is definitely one of the best airports in the world!

Hello kabayan! Ayos na ayos ang sky mo a! Ganda ng details at DOF even at f/4. Salamat sa pagbahagi :)

Yes Fred, it's a plane, but I'm more intrigued by what looks like half a plane on the tarmac. This is one airport I sure would like to visit.
Hope you don't get tired from all that travelling around - leaving the Middle East I now here you are in HK.
Lovely picture - must be nice to have a wide angle lens in cases like this.
