Cool fuselage - I love the rivets and stains, the details and textures of this shot are fantastic.

Good strong saturation in the sky too.

Great POV and tight framing.

This is a very good composition. It uses a mirrored L-shape. The detail in the panels and pop rivets and the color processing makes this poster material - left top space can have some text. Good work!

Zdravo Bane
Odlican ugao i dobra svetlost
hvala za informacije o avionu
Pozdrav
Mitko

You din't shoot it in the air, did you?
Looks like a picture from 1930s style Science Fiction movies.
The POV is very unusual and inviting.
Volume is perfectly visible thanks to lights and shadows and the lines.
One more thing: I am in love with yellow/blue compositions. So am I with this picture.

Hello Bane
This faithful old timer remids me of the post-Award Hughes era, in the early days of jet planes!
Looks magnificent under this yellow make-up, against the blue sky.
You chosed an elegant cropping to show only the essence of this beauty.
Best regards.
Robert
Please read my home page.

What a wonderful closeup, Bane! "Flying colors" for this, from my part! :)
Best regards,
Diana

Hello Bane,

Amazing POV and great golden color, Bane!
Original and well done job. Congratulations!

Abraços,
Bruno

Beautiful one, remains to those old movies made in colour in the 50's in front of a chroma wall.

Best regards.
