Amazing composition, lighting, color, and ambience!

So stunningly immersive, I feel like I'm on an alien planet.

Thanks; you will find that the 6x7 system has the potential to do great things.

That’s not in doubt, it’s my ability to make it do great things that is.

Nice photograph, I'm surprised of the quality, usually aircraft windows aren't so clean and poor quality optically.

Using a large aperture (in this case f/5.6) And manual focussing in infinity means you don’t see dirt. You have to be careful to avoid the edges though as these are distorted
