    You got this close with a 70mm? Wow. Majoring in aerospace engineering, I love to watch planes, but I'm not quite sure I've ever seen one quite like this...or in this "light" rather. Truely amazing!

    0 JD

    I don't even think I need to comment on this, friggin amazing... impressed that you managed to keep cam so still with it being so close! (unless there was a lot of cropping of course!), or is it the IS version of the 70-200 f2.8 your waving at the sky's like a mad mad?

    0 lino

    wow! awesome shot... perfect timing...:)

    0 jesmi

    nice shot, but i think u have 2 take it easy on post production.

    0 Dan Creighton

    0 Jason Ertel

    Congrats on making the Hall of Fame! If this isn't moderated this will be 100...

    0 Rogers Place

    Agree with the rest. An amazing shot.

    0 Eugene

    It's a beauty. When will you upload a new photo? At the 100th comment?

    0 Jimpur

    Wow!

    0 thall0s

    You did a nice job on this one. Quite dark but still plenty of details. Clouds are pretty nice, hot temperature in there (I guess Burn/Dodge is one of your favorite tools ;-)
    I'm used to see awesome shots from you... but the thing that disturbs me is where the heck you were at to get that angle? Plus, with your 70-200mm only, you got an unexpected reach !

    0 maytree

    i love the dark colours on the background. it looks very dramatic!

    0 tetsu

    Wonderful capture!! :-)

    0 Noor Hazmee

    Your postprocessing is simply amazing. Beautiful capture as well. Cheers~

    0 Nicolas

    Wouch !!! Great one :)

    0 John Keyes

    0 Mike Dougan

    Visually stunning but as somebody who fly's a lot it's also a worring image! Feel's very black!

    0 Sidney

    Wow! Awesome!

    0 krizalid

    I'm pretty jealous of this one...
    Excellent.

    0 Richard H

    Wow!! Great clear shot.
    I'm not a fan of the scratching at the bottom, but the image as a whole is very cool!!

    0 frisky?

    I have a question though: How do you get the full thumbnail on your comments and then a square cropped 85px x 85px thumbnail on your archive page?

    0 Burcin Tolu

    It's a cool photo. I really liked colors in it and how good you caught the photo

    0 Marcel

    I don't have any words... Great atmosphere, great photo, great photoblog!

    Jonathan, http://www.jonathanwallace.net

    0 Tim

    Awesome shot. Wide open aperture. Good choice to freeze the place. It is great that the whole is in focus. Well done.

    0 Artepp

    0 andy

    0 BrossanovA

    Most Impressive. I like it a lot. It has a nice color contrast and that clouds make the photo very dramatic.

    0 Karl

    I wonder what lens you used if any.

    0 Piet Osefius

    This is great! The movement, the colours, the lightning, and of course your point of view. What can I say more.

    0 Jamey

    Love the smearing at the bottom. Very unorthodox plane shot.

    0 Jean-Marc

    Very nice lightning and effect

    0 Marius M

    Novelair, Airbus A320.
    Nice lightning (exposure is fantastic), dramatic colors.
    Rain effect (from the wings and down) gives photo great sence of movement.
    Overall great work.

    On the way to Copenhagen, best regards from Vilnius!

    0 david kleinert

    awesome image - the angle, light and crisp capture all top stuff :)

    0 Explosif

    This is a sweet shot! Curious about the 'streaks' people have mentioned, not sure I like them if they are PS'd but the colour and background are the highlights for me.

    0 jonas

    aah... I've been thinking of a shot like this for a while now but never found an opportunity, great capture!

    0 mannedspace

    Fantastic shot. I really like the overall texture of this.

    0 Angry Buddha

    Wow!! Great shot.

    0 Phil

    Brilliant capture, really captures the sheer size of the plane, and it looks amazing against the dramatic sky. The streaks behind it aren't really working for me though - I guess those were added in PP?

    0 Ian N. Tomkins

    Hey Kenny.... Realy cool shoot... nearly droped my false teeth when I saw it ;-)

    Crikey, awesome photo. I'm not 100% on the blur, but I like the comicbook effect it has.

    0 thomas mueller

    stunning work and really great processed.

    0 Thomas Solberg / Project neXus

    I think it's going to be a rough landing! But hey, any landing you can walk away from is a good one! :-) Very nice photo and processing

    0 chiara

    Scary! Feel a bit too close for my taste but makes for a really great shot! Love the tones and the drammatic sky.

    0 Ben

    I love the streaks from the wings of the plane.

    Cool shot Kenny. How about some insight to the processing :)

    0 Djiwom

    Probably one of the best shots I've seen lately! This is an amzing one...

    0 Dave

    Very cool image in true moodaholic fashion! I just saw this plane recently here: http://tinyurl.com/y4973s Glad to see she is in full operation! Great image.

    0 pixels.in.my.head

    very rich textures in the sky and crisp focus on the plane. Fabulous shot!

    0 Piotr GeoS Galas

    This shot is amazing. Lot of dark colours makes it on one hand really scary and on other - mysterious.
    Great picture.

    0 [ PIXEL VIKING ]

    Yikes, that's an awesome looking image. Did you add the streaks behind the airplane in PP? The sunlight hitting the airplane front really makes the cockpit pop out.

    0 What The Heck Journal

    Looks great on the black background. The texture really fits the overall color of the shot.
    Another nice shot, buddy!
