It looks like a Robinson R44, four seater helicopter. The "robbies" are now the biggest selling light planes in the world beating out Cessna, Piper and all the others.
Definitely original. If you had better scenery instead of that parking lot I'm guessing this would have placed much higher. Also, this coming from someone that probably wouldn't have had the guts to take that shot. :P What type of plane is it?
Haha, had the same idea but no airplane or helicopter was available, at least not for the price I was willing to pay :) You really must have polished those windows before you took off, they look very clean for you to be able to take such a sharp photo through them.
Okay, whose diriving?!? This was one of the most creative shots of the challenge. I like the composition and the exposure looks perfect. I think that I would have opened up that aperature to get a more shallow depth of field to blur the ground a bit. Overall, very nice.
