 I was looking for a shot of the sunset in Reykjavik when this Super Puma helicopter came in for landing. I almost missed it when I was fiddling with my camera.

I've flown in those when I did my national service in the South African air force back in 1972. Lovely silhouetted image. 8

Love the gradient in the sky, and the cut-out silhouettes. Composition is a bit too centered for me.

Lovely silhouette! I wish the helicopter weren't centered... they're be more tension in the scene with it off to the right. (not voting)
