That's pretty cool! I haven't seen another plane while flying. Your shot doesn't seem to be messedup by the window you shot from either.

Comment by saintaugust:
i love how the roof is almost pointed straight at the viewer while the floor is level. creates a sense of vertigo, but at the same time offers the entire package into one shot.

i think it lacks a bit of contrast, just to be picky. :-)

Very nice image. Skin tones excellent. I like the abstraction.

My POV is drawn very slightly away from the hand by the slightly lighter patch just to the right of the hand: the skin and background appear to be close to matching (on my monitor), which is slightly distracting. There is the lightest of red marks (a thin line) half way between the hand and the waistline, which could be cloned out. These points are only of relevance because the image is minimalistic in nature, and any minor imperfection becomes more noticeable (though the small freckles and moles add to the picture).

I do now want a 12mm lens. Wow.

This is a great example of perspective, but also of distortion at the extremes. The ceiling is spectacular, though I might experiment with reducing the distortion in the top half of the image: the dome looks a little too round to me, and I wonder if compressing the top third of the image might create a more natural perspective (though that is probably not what you are aiming for here). If I were bbeing very fussy, I note that the RHS is cropped fractionally more than the LHS.

Comment by Matthew:
It is always interesting to see a new take on an old image. I have a couple of gondolas shots like this but with them fading into the mist on a stock still day.

There is a bit of grain in the posts, which look a little oddly exposed: to confirm that the only things moving in the image are the boats and the water (and to show that the blur is intentional), the posts need (for me) to be solid and cleanly photgraphed. The flash on the LH boat is a little uneven compared to the boat on the RHS (if desired, this could be fixed in PS, I am sure). The movement on the RHS is a little odd: the boat further back looks as though it has been cut off at its midpoint.

I am not sure that this is an image that I would buy over a more traditional shot - the gondola's shape and sweeping motion is not well conveyed by the up/down movement of the swell, creating a tension in this image that I find very interesting but not aesthetically pleasing. Artistically I think that it has a lot of value (though I would like to see the moorings absolutely crisp, solid and unmoving from that perspective).

I see this very large on a wall somewhere, good vision and choice of colour range and tones.
