A perfect pose! I like the 3d effect going on in this shot.

Amazing shot!
I am again impressed with the results this lens can deliver (in the right hands and with the right eye, of course).

Great shot, the wings absolutely flat for maximum heat absorption before lift off.

Thumbs up. Don't think you could ask for a better background to make your subject stand out. Well done.
