I saw that on the news this morning Hans and I immediately was worried about you. I'm not sure what city you work in, but I was worried! This is very sad and I know your industry tries to avoid this at all turns! This photo is beautiful! A fitting post for this tribute. Glad you are ok!

Hans, a very fitting tribute. I heard about the crash when I first got up this morning. My thoughts are with all those who lost family members today, and with the injured.

A bit to dark in my opinion.
Using shadow highlight in PSCS3 gives better images in my opinion
Using tragic news items like this must not support by this type of photos.

merhaba dear Hans...
Harika bir çalışma olmuş...ışık,renk ve netlik harika...eline sağlık...
İstanbuldan kalkıp Amsterdam a gitmek üzere havalanan Türk hava yollarına ait uçağın kaza yaptığını büyük bir üzüntüyle öğrendim..Kaza sonrası olaya anında müdahele eden Hollanda çalışanlarıyla ne kadar övünseniz azdır...Büyük bir özveriyle çalışan bütün personele Türk milleti adına Teşekkür ediyor...Ölenlere Allah tan rahmet, yaralı insanlara şifa diliyorum...selam ve sevgilerimle...

hi hans thanks much for your open hearted note...
one of my friend who is working in my company was also in that plane. after some minutes of the crash we heard the accident by his call.. he told that we will soon know the accident, and he is outside the plane, walking in the field...
it was great to know that he is ok...
on the other hand we are so sad anout the others ... :(

Hi Hans

Just last night I was watching a 737 flying in over our house and marvelling at the engineering and technology that makes flight so safe and reliable.

Accidents are inevitable but I take heart in the fact that more people seem to be surviving air crashes in recent years.

I know how close to your heart this must be.

A fitting tribute in this shot, showing the simple joy of flight.

A good and sharp photo of this gannet. I know how hard it is to take such a shot.

a note which is coming straight from the heart. I agree, i feel very sorry too for the victims. Nobody wants to be involved in a crash, it must have been so scary.

A touching tribute Hans, for the crew and passengers on the Turkish Airlines flight TK1951 at Schiphol Airport.

It's an awesome image of the gannet and it is wonderful to know that even though the plane did crash there were many lives saved.

Horrible news, Hans, and almost exactly 24 hours after we flew out of Schiphol.

As to the image, another great capture of a bird in flight - and the composition seems fitting given the circumstances. An air of respectful calm seems to emanate from this shot but perhaps could be a little brighter.

Hoi Hans.
Ja. dat was dichtbij. Het had heel wat slechter kunnen aflopen als ie 100 meter verder tot stilstand was gekomen (Bomen en Weg)
Nog wat verder en het was een puinhoop op de grote weg geworden.
Spekulaasje van mij: Te zuinig met brandstof op 'weg' gegaan.
Groeten,
Jan

Hello Hans !

We just flew back from Sunny Mexico ourselves. Original shot for your tribute to the victims. Crystal clear . Landing gear out, approaching the track! Simple but very effective composition. Simple as your tribute.

Weird Fact: Did you know engineers copied the design of the bird to create the nose of the Concorde ?

Take care,
Robert
