This is such a great combination of items it almost seems fake (like photoshopped in) - I'm sure it's not, just an observation. The clouds are PERFECT, and the timing to get that plane in there - way cool! Add a curving, meandering road and the speed limit sign - what more could you ask for? I'd have cloned out the car bottom right. :D PDQ - I guess you're either talking about the plane - or - the photographer reaction - or - the shutter speed. Very well done. Congratulations!

Funny!! Well done, too. I like how the yellow is echoed in the stripe on the road and the sign. Great shot!

I think I know exactly where that tree is. Is it on the way from Cathey's Valley to Merced? I have photographed trees in there dozens of times... any shopping trip to the Valley is bound to take extra time due to absolutely necessary photography stops on the way there and back. This shot is simply gorgeous; what a capture, and congratulations on your ribbon.

Your description reminded me of the story of how Galen Rowell acquired [url=//mountainlight.com/gallery.tibet/images.html]this image in Tibet. I don't recall all the details, but I think it involved running about a half-mile across a muddy field with all his camera gear to get to the right spot in time.

Talk about optical coincidences, I think with just a little burning-in you can make that into a funnel-cloud in the background.

This is a most awesome rainbow, and by using the tree, you composed a very pleasing image. Lucky you that it happened while the "Trees" challenge was going on.

Whats funny is i saw this in the forums already. Cool image minus the fact that it looks fake due to the aliasing on the plane (What some people call jaggies)
