I really like the way it looking right at you. "Landing Gear" down is also a nice touch.

KK, terrific incoming pose, love the way he's looking right at you and the splayed feet adds a nice pop of color, great action capture.

Great detail for the flat light and background you had to work with. Good processing.

Fantastic shot! Love the expression on its face and those orange feet add a nice touch of color.
