Great title. I appreciate you leaving the shadows in the shadows. (I'm a sucker for airport images.)

Just another day at the airport, huh. Not for me.. this has a story, so much to take in. Funny, I can't even tell what time of day it is, not that it matters. Great image.

This is an excellent entry for the Art of 2014 challenge. It has a nixter feel to it, and I rate nixter is one of the most artistic photographers to ever grace the halls of DPC. I love the composition: on the right the shadowy partial figure in the foreground and the large, shadowy tail of the plane; perfectly balanced by the finer detail and colour of the image on the left... beautifully framed into a polyptic by the window structure. Add to that, the effects of the sun, reflecting off the paint on the tarmac and highlighting the rain and/or dirt on the glass... wonderful stuff.

three thumbs = my top pick & hang it on my wall anytime.
OK, so after half a dozen short-then-shorter lists this is my top pick. Last man standing. Why?

First thing is, it's beautiful. Really very beautiful; shapes, tones, light and all the aesthetics are visually pleasing. The muted colours are lovely. And the composition is inspired. This is a view that most of us have seen many times, and yet I've never seen it captured as beautifully as this. Those were my first thoughts.

My second thoughts were that this is three frames from a film (I speak figuratively of course). A man stands watching, almost from the wings, as a strange cinema plays past him. He can enter the movie; he can stay where he is and watch the movie; or he can leave the theatre and the movie will still play to an empty house.

I didn't dare have any third thoughts.

Thank you.
