Great shot, Pops. The out of frame treatment on the wings is fun and effective. -Michael

I've seen this one somewhere before. Still a great shot and I'm happy to see it here.

Thanks for the comments! First, I personally disagree about the shadow. Only the plane is flying out of the picture. But that's me. Second, If I were to include the entire wing then you would see the two gentlemen holding the plane. Ron's shadow was cloned out. That prop can swing at 10,000 plus RPM and it can act just like a razor blade. I've seen too many fingers that clashed with the prop circle. There is no way I'm standing anywhere near it's flight path.

It's a great shot, with a great out of frame treatment. But I do agree with both of the previous posters. Seeing the rest of the wings, AND having the left shadow go out of frame would make it perfect.

Pops, I really like how you have the plane flying right out of the picture. I just wish that the edges of the wings were shown. -- Jeannie
