 A Beechcraft Baron (I think?) on an early morning flight, taken near Canberra airport... It was soooo cold when I took this. Taken with 70-300mm F/4-5.6 D lens.

Post Editing:
Originally had the whitebalance as incandescant (whoops), but luckily I shot in RAW, and fixed it easily. Also adjusted levels to emphasize dark areas to make it a bit more dramatic.

Nice capture but I don't find it exciting. I do like the angle though and the framing... maybe I'd like it better if it was brighter. Good job overall...

the plane at the top of the frame like this makes the photo feel very unsettling to me. also, the shadow loses a lot of the interesting detail.
