 Well my idea for a slightly different sunset picture was shot down firstly as the wind was blowing in the wrong direction so the aircraft were landing east to west and not west to east which is what I wanted but secondly as the sun doesn't seem to set in the west at the moment anyway!! It's actually setting in the south west! Oh well, here's a shot I took whilst not managing to get a nice sunset shot!

Handheld @ 400mm

Great shot of the plane and the light and colour are fantastic. I think I agree with sempermarine that it would be great to clone out the lower distractions.

Leaving on a jet plane. Don't know when I'll be back again. Nice shot. It would be cool to clone out all the stuff on the bottom.

That is gorgeous! The crispness of the shot puts me right there. Very nice.

Nice sharp image. Was this hand held and what focal length was it taken at Rob. I like the colour tone of the background.

But the light on the plane was nice! Just not what sunrise/sunset voters might be expecting.

My first thought was 'where you going?'

Cool image.

Good colours Bob, shame about the sun being pesky and setting in the wrong place.. the best laid plans usually go wrong!
