Post actions
Just noticed its a little Piper PA-38 Tomahawk, when I used to have flying lessons thats what we started in (sadly too expensive to keep up).. ALthough in the pilot fraternity it was more widely known as the Trauma-hawk...

Came back to find out more - just goes to show "bring that camera with you." Nice one.

Wow, some timing. It seems like the other spectators have hardly had time to react. Solid photojournalism!
Post actions
nice moment , six for that ;D
Post actions
Lemme guess.. you sabotaged the plane jsut to get this shot?!? :P
Post actions
Very good documentary shot.
Post actions
That pilot sure had a bad day at the office. Very brave of you to stay there while a plane is about to crash in front of you.
Post actions
If it is the moment of impact how come nobody is looking at the plane?
Post actions
Ooh, bummer! Great moment to capture, quick fingers, you!
Post actions
good street, er, beach reporting.

Post actions
Well captured and presented.
Post actions
Great action/editorial shot. Good timing. I hope no-one was hurt!
Post actions
Amazing...and you were right there with camera at the ready at the crucial moment. Was everybody alright? Did the people in the aircraft survive? 7
Post actions
Great timing. Too bad you had to witness this. Looks fatal.
Post actions
Can't wait to read about this!
Post actions
Right place at the right time for you, unfortunate for the plane.
Post actions
Amazing timing!!! I hope you sold this to a few newspapers.
Post actions
what a moment to capture, I hope everyone was ok! The reactions on the left I find the most compelling.
Post actions
If you could have gotten the plane to crash a little bit further over it would have improved the composition.

Post actions
wow, what a moment to be there for

Coming back to comment...

The standing group look like they are already talking about it - or did thay just look up. Close call.
Post actions
wow, yea, you can still see the sand kicking up from impact, wish we could see the expressions a little more

Impressive. I do hope no one was hurt. The bikes are standing here if nothing is happened. Very nice.

That is an incredible capture.

Oh no! Wow what timing. Nice job.

While this would make a good image for a newspaper story... it's not really a wonderful photograph... so I don't think it will score really well in this photography contest.
Post actions
That's dedication to photography - first release the shutter, then do something else, whatever is needed ...
Post actions
Not sure if this staged or not, but it's quite the picture. I'm going to search for it after the challenge ends and hopefully read the details.
Post actions
Great capture, congratulations!
Post actions
Great bit of photojournalism - well done :)
Post actions
I'm surprised how many people aren't paying attention to the crash.
Post actions
opps....you caught the moment...hoping no one got hurt
Post actions
Oops! Interesting that a lot of people seem to be looking elsewhere.
Post actions
Post actions
At the right place at the right time, nice photojournalistic shot , 6
Post actions
OK, after the challenge you have GOT to tell us the story behind this.. Strangely, the part that stands out to me more than the plane is the lady in the black dress - her expression says it all..
Post actions
WOW talk about the right place at the right time! Impressive, most impressive.
Post actions
Hope everyone was okay. I like that the peoples' expression on the left is visible.
Post actions
Wow...if this is real that is incredible. Great that you had your camera out. I would like to see the shot right before it hit the ground though, if you even have that one. 8
Post actions
for some reason I would think there would be a different reaction from the people there. Great capture!
Post actions
Ooops! Great job catching this shot. Once in a lifetime opportunity I am sure!
Post actions
You hardly ever see that!
Post actions
Crazy. Good timing with the camera in hand!
Post actions
WOW...what a moment to capture. 10
Post actions
Wow. Amazing that you were there to capture this.

Wow! Not something you see every day!

I hate when that happens!
Post actions
Interesting shot. Looks like everyone knows something just happened, but they don't know where.
Post actions
great photojournalistic image, i love people expressions, hopefully no one got hurt.... i would have cropped the bottom of the picture close to the blue line on the sand.
Post actions
Wow! What a moment to capture.
Post actions
I remember seeing this earlier in the year. How great that you had your camera. What a shot!
Post actions
That's pretty amazing timing. I hope no one was hurt!
Post actions
Nice timing, hope you sold it to the local paper! Think you could crop it a bit - mostly the very top and a bit on the right...
Post actions
Holy Batman! Photographically it ain't nothing special, but talk about reportage values :-) Sorting it into my upper screening group for now :-)
Post actions
Oops! Great capture. Hope no one was hurt. The "normalcy" of the bikes and beach scene are a great contradiction to the shock of a plane crash.
Post actions
Well captured. Hope all were okay.
Post actions
wow this aint happend every day - u should have sold it to a newspaper
Post actions
awesome timing!! You got it!
Post actions
I cant wait to read the photographers comments on this one
Post actions
Wow! Talk about being at the right place at the right time! What a capture! 9
Post actions
The people dont seem to worried? I hope the people inside are ok? Nice capture tho!
Post actions
Oh my you were on top of this! What a capture.
Post actions
wow, talk about being in the right place at the right time! Thank goodness no one was hurt!!
Post actions
WOW, right time right place, hope no one was hurt..
Post actions
Nice catch. The foreground is a bit distracting to me, but I love the people at the moment of impact.
Post actions
Post actions
capture the moment for sure

I can see why you'd want to submit this shot. It has great impact (no pun intended), although from a technical aspect there is room for improvement.
