Lucky bastard! I mean that in the best possible way. So after you took this shot, did you still take pictures of Sand Cranes?

sorry to see this DQ'd; I got it right off the bat and loved it. A blatant disregard for the challenge rules seemed the epitome of cheating...

Thank you for the comments everyone. Yeah, I would have loved getting the airplane sharper, but it's not like I had time to set this shot up. I was at a local bird preserve and was going to shoot Sand Hill Cranes in front of the rising full Moon and had just set the camera on my tripod and was dialing in the exposure when I noticed the plane coming into the frame so it was panic time. He was to that far away from me, so he was moving fairly fast through the frame and I was sweating bullets that I'd miss him.

Thanks again for your comments and your votes.

Great shot....

:)

And ignore the focus issue, it's not easy getting a an object a few miles away in focus with one that's oh what a few millions miles away... ;)

This picture would be better if plane wasn't so blurry. Great shot otherwise

Very interesting. Maybe the plane is out of focus a little.

Ooops, Thanks all for your comments. I did not read the advanced edit rules well enough and got DQ'd. Fair enough.

Now if this is a live capture, we should all be the "cow jump[ing] over the moon". Nicely framed and executed, made me think for more than a sec.
