You can almost hear the plane saying: "Are you ready to go yet?!, I am!"
Great use of shadows, gives it depth and feeling.

This is a great picture. It gives an impression as if that plane is eager to go up in the air again. The contrast works really well. I love this.

What a shot Shirley! There plane looks like an animal at "heel" - just chomping at the bit to take off.

Reminds me of the old TV show, Sky King - poised for another adventure. The high contrast is what really makes the shot work for me. --Stefan

Excellent shot, I really like the feeling of expectation and anticipation suggested by the position of the plane and figure.
