On the heels of the Take 2 challenge, I am certain that some will recognize this as my entry. I think it is actually a different plane, the paint job is different and this was taken about 30 minutes earlier.
Took a lot of experimentation and trying out some new-to-me techniques in order to get the look I had wanted for this. Keeping an open ear in forum discussions and PM threads paid off.
Post challenge notes:
6+ in a freestudy is always nice, even though it was by just a slim margin.
