Very cool! This is hilarious. Looks like a plane revving up for takeoff. Great shot.

Ken, I'll trade you for one of my set-up shots :) I really like the action here and the fact that the movement makes the shot very interesting. Nice colour too.

Great shot. Looks like the bird may have run into you once it got airborne.

Love those revving engines. 8) The color looks a bit oversaturated to me. Great catch.

Good job, it is sharp where is needed but those wings are very nice to give so much dynamism. Congratulations.
