Very well done Matt!....You have caught this image as if it was falling backwards toward earth!. It gives you the feeling that it has suddenly stopped in mid-air and has everyone wondering what will happen next!
I know absolutely nothing about planes, so when I first saw the thumbnail, it looked like the plane was diving admist a plume of smoke, making it look like it was crashing or something.That would have been bad. =( But I do like how the smoke adds lines to the picture opposite of the lines of the plane. Nice compositiona and good capture.
I agree with Dunstickin- it does look as though it has stalled mid-air. What type of camera did you use to get such a great air shot? RSVP please if able. I would love for Santa to bring me one this year. LOL :)
