[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
No piece of marble is perfect, and I was zooming in on an imperfection in this pillar (at the Jefferson Memorial, in Washington, D.C.), when I heard a jet plane's engine coming closer. I snapped a few shots of the pillar, kept my focus on it, and waited . . .

As soon as the first hint of the plane entered my vision, I started snapping again, and captured this.

No post-processing except for adjusting the levels, sharpening and resizing. I know the pillar isn't on a perfect vertical, but I don't want it that way. I tried it, and it loses some of its energy. I tried tighter crops and the image loses too much context. I'm happy with this one.

Very good snapshot. I like the way you kept the tilt on the monument, and ys, you clicked just at the right moment! TFS!
