 Last minute...wasn't going to enter. I just wanted to get something in. May live to regret it I guess.

I do like the sheer drama and majesty of a Boeing 747 flying over your head. The compression on this was achieved by using a 300m F4 lens.

PREDICTION: 6.2XXX

POST: OK, thought this would do much better...not a 'dpc friendly' image I know...oh well...

I wondered where this was taken. In the US if you point a camera at an aircraft this close to the ground you're just asking to meet a lot of uptight men in uniform.

Another great photo that isn't targeted to the DPC demographic. I enjoyed the variation in the challenge.

A great sense of heft and personality to this suprisingly still photo.
