Thanks for the comments and votes.

Wow no 1's this time. and 4 10's which I didn't expect

It was interesting to see how many people commented on the plane. Just goes to show how everyone sees things in a different perspective.

Nice colors, a crop to remove the two bushes on either edge of the pic might have worked better. The sky has a bit of noise, removing some might make this image more appealing.

the plane coursing through the sky makes this a thought provoking piece. I like it.

Looks like an aircraft, each dot on the string being the strobe going off?
