I never did get to fly on one of those. Nice use of the concertina wire.

Very nice framing. I wish you'd captured a little blur on the props though, the whole thing is oddly static.

This is a brilliant capture. Good press photography with the barb wire framing. The only thing I would like improved is that the propellers are a little to close to the wire on the left side.

Very cool. The framing with the barbed wire really makes the shot and sets some context. I almost got to see a close up takeoff of the V-22 at the Alliance airshow recently, but they had some problems and I got some less awesome, but still interesting maintenance shots instead. (I was an avionics tech in the AF, I find maintenance interesting.)

You really used the razor wire to frame the plane and give the photo more depth and story. I really like the tones as well!

Very neat framing of the airplane with the barbed wire. You used what could have been really distracting to enhance the photo. I might have cropped out more of the ground, since there's not much interesting there, and put the plane a bit more off-center. But overall a nice photo. I really like it.

I've seen the Osprey fly a few times. It's an interesting aircraft and this is an interesting photo of it. Nellis? Airshow Nation?

This is such a good shot, the framing of the wire is a masterstroke.

Nice going on "trapping" it inside the wire there. Good photo!
