Taken at sunset. The plane was landing so gracefully.
For all the people who commented about the plane taking off - look at the flaps down, the gear down, and the nose pointing down. This bird is landing, sorry.

Great shot! Love the sky. You picked the perect time of day to take this. I also like the way you cropped this image. It gives it a sense of movement. Among my favourites for this challenge.
Great sense of flight. Love the reflections on the plane from the sunset/sunrise. Really good contrast in the plane.The shadows and reflections on the plane itself really gives you a sense of the beautiful shapes in the plane. The fluffy clouds and the blue hues is a great backdrop to highlight the plane.
very nice photo, one would think twas manipulated its so dreamy and has such nice color and contrast, and I mean that in a complimentary way being it carries such vivid and amazing contrast, perfect but I can not go giving a ten on what in my opinion is a perfect photo, hence I will simply give it a wonderfully perfect 8 ibeing I haven't looked at all it compares to yet, but I can say this certainly sets my standard for a quality photo, wonderfully done
Beautiful colors. More like good bye than welcome. It looks like a take off and it's flying away from me. That's nort something I'd take points off for. 9 and I'll come back after the finish to see what camera took this.
Lovely color! Nicely sharp. (Wrong brand of airplane - O.K. I work for Boeing...)
The sky is just a bit too bright in the lower right corner. 8 Rob the Swash
Nice shot. To me though, the plane is moving away, which suggests that it is leaving, not coming home as the title suggests. No points off for that though.
