Fantastic work - one of my highest rated images of the challenge. My father was a navigator on a B29 in WWII, so this shot has special meaning to me. I recall getting a tour of one some time ago and thougth I recognized the panel behind the man.

Nice of her to humour you on Father's Day. She does look rather bored.

Excellent portrait. I had a sneaking suspicion it was yours due to your Military outings but wasn't sure. Well done Steve. ROFL I made the same Post Challenge comment about landscapes! (9 from me)

I like the b/w version a lot better than the color. I'm also playing with the idea of cropping out the left portion up to that little space between the trees, making it a squarer crop. Would eliminate a little bit of the whiteness of the sky, although it doesn't bother me as it is. There is a very pleasing diagonal across the center, created by the trees.
