Susan, this is just marvelous! Congrats on your blue, your PB, and just in general the way your photography has come alive these days. An image of impressive impact, creative and well shot, and it's no surprise to me that when you did get your first ribbon, that it'd be in this astonishing way. Keep on keepin' on, girl! W00t!

Woohoo! Congrats on an unusual angle and a great shot, your personal best, your first ribbon, and your first blue all in one! :)

About that angle - it's SO much more interesting than if the plane's nose were toward the top of the shot.

BTW, I love that lens. It lives on my camera.

Congrats again!

Comment by Morgan:
Wonderful shot, I love it. Well done!

As per Bear_Music's comment regarding the absence of afterburners on commercial aircraft, I would like to also offer that the engines are near idle or just above it on final approach. So, the noise is subdued and highly attenuated compared to a departure shot of the same plane with the engines spooled up to maximum thrust. Sorry, the pilot in me makes me say these things.

As it happens, I am off to CYOW tomorrow myself.
