Like the turbulence & lighting tones in both the sky & water + the airplane fuel / vapor mist in the sky.

Gerald -

Wow! Talk about high drama in a photo. Astonishing movement and natural anger in the water and sky, superbly seen and caught.

that's an intense shot you've got there - very powerful.

Lovely shot. Interesting symmetry between the sky and the water.

Gerald,
NEVER though I would say this but...... what does it look like in colour?
I watched the 747s over-flying from the US towards mainland Europe at dawn this morning and the colours were fantastic, just before the sun came up.

Beautiful, moody shot.

Cheers,
Pete.

Thank you everyone for your input. It was, indeed, a great sky.

Pete, here is a color version.

Very nice Gerald. Much more powerful in B&W, IMHO.

Gérald - it's apocalypse now, again :-) Tremendous shot (esp b+w), like something out of a science fiction film. Thanx for showing.
cheers:

My kind of sky. I wish I had been there to do some shooting. Excellent drama.

Gérald,
B&W or color, a difficult choice in this case.
Better to keep both!
I think I understand how difficult it would be choising not to shoot this moment!

Thank you Wilfredo, José and Johan.

José, sometimes my eye is way less acurate than my D2 lens...

Johan, these guys fly by the rules.

Oh dear me, is that so ?
I thought they flew by wire.
Holy mackrel, next time I'll be aboard,
I'll have to keep an eye on that.
