[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Antonov An-2 (Russian nickname: кукуру́зник kukuruznik - a kolkhoz maize worker (inherited from Polikarpov Po-2)) also nicknamed "Annushka"; is an extremely durable, light, single-engine biplane which first flew on 31 August 1947 and was the first plane designed by Antonov. It is used as a light transport, capable of carrying 12 passengers, and for parachute drops and agricultural work. Its slow-flight and STOL capabilities make it suited for short, unimproved fields, and some specialized variants have also been built for cold weather and other extreme environments. The Guinness Book of World Records states that the 45-year production run for the An-2 was the longest ever, for any aircraft, only recently beaten by the Lockheed C-130 Hercules.

Hello Pawel
Good placement of the plane in the bottom third of the frame, the horizon seen throught the wings looks good. Your pp work has made this quite simple scene into one with lots of atmosphere.

Hello Pawel,
An interesting POV to capture this aircraft against a spectacular sky!
The monochromatic treatment of this subject suites perfectly to bring out contrast which you succeeded well.
Good light and accurate focusing.
A clean presentation in a neat frame.
Well done,

Francis Xavier

Hello Pawel

Wonderful PP on this image. The B/W really give it a period feel from long ago. Sharpness is outstanding. TFS

Impressive scene in front of the clouds. And it reminded me of the days I parachuted from a noisy boneshaker Antonov 2. Just it looks a bit tilted, maybe it is an optical illusion.
