 Taken at the Castle Air Museum at Atwater CA. The docent let me cross the barriers to shoot pics. This is the most impressive shot I could get, while trying to cut out the parking lot, birds, and power lines. It was a terribly bright day and I had great difficulty getting under wing detail as well as that of the areas being flooded with sunlight. This plane is massive for its era.

Seems like a very technically good image, but the subject isn't interesting to me. It's like something from a museum brochure, maybe. Dry and technical, but well done.

Very clear shot! This seems like a bit of an odd perspective, but it works for me. I don't remember seeing a push propeller bomber, must be a McDonald Douglas product (I work for Boeing, he he) Colro seems a tad low, esp. the yellow on the prop tips (a little washed out?) Otherwise, this is a very fine photo! 8 Swash

good idea. the yellow parts attract my eye, leading me to the far left of the frame. since the rest of the photo is so monotone, it would benefit this to be composed tighter in to eliminate some of the excess that the eye doesn't want to see on the right anyway. clarity .. pretty good focus. nice subject.

Even though it has no bearing on my vote I just wanted to let you know that the B36 didn't actually fly until about a year after the war. The Air Force received the bomber in 1948 and retired it 1959.

Nice perspective. It seems like it could have used a bit more saturation though.
