I think its an interesting subject. You can get some really great images from the reflections off that metal. I do think that it may be a bit overexposed (?) and I would frame it differently. I would focus more on the reflections in the metal rather than add so much sky in the frame.

Hi Addies,
I like the idea especially the reflections on the silvery plane. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the input. I do have some with more reflections and less sky. Here's one of them:

I do like that first shot John, but agree a bit more plane and less sky would improve.
The second image is very nice.
Good work

Beautiful meticulous work on those guys..nice capture..I like the blue and chrome together.

The bottom one reminds me of my skydiving days because this is what we often see hanging out on struts before exiting, or just immediately after exiting. But then the top photo shows that it's not flying!!

I think the chrome is very interesting but I also find the clouds work perfectly with the plane. Nice images

Nice angles on a great plane.

Thanks everyone. There are more images on my Picasa site, if you're interested.

I like the shot , but I think I would have went for more of an upward angle then down. To me looking up gives it more of feel of how it size really is. Also really didn't like the shadow on the ground.

Nice still tho
