Great Perspective.

Dramatic angle but this lacks some post-processing. Tones and colour are muted and, if intentional, should have been pushed more emphatically.

I used to work at an airport, and that picture is a beauty. Keep up the good work.

I love the angle and framing of this one, also the dark look and feel. Makes you feel like you're about to witness something horrible. I'm guessing you live at the end of a runway... which airport?

I wish the light on this picture was a little better- the angle is really cool!

The rounded/tilted bottom of the shot puts this into the perspective that its heading right at you! I think some levels adjustment and unsharp mask in photoshop could make this stand out a bit more. Great photo op and nice execution

Looks like west London, though I suppose it could be anywhere. Great use of the wide-angle, imposing sihouette of plane; i really hope people vote for the impact of the shot rather than getting hung up on the skyline or something petty like that - but you've given them the chance. 7 from me, for now.

I really get the feeling of falling over in this photo.

What an awesome angle, very 3Dish. Outstanding !

Very attractive. Pity the sky isn't a bit lighter to make the plane come forward more.

oooo if only the sky was better! this is a great picture. it gives the feel of a plane about to land on your head. I like the little storm though. hehe

Neat-o. Car hood?

This has really good composition, but the whole picture looks a little washed out to me - maybe some use os the levels command could improve this?

Could have been a nice picture, but it's very underexposed.
