Photographer’s Note
This was quite fun for me. My connecting flight from Amsterdam to Vilnius that day was a 3 seats across Saab 2000 prop plane, and just by chance I had this seat. So a chance to catch what was (for me) quite a distinctive view taking off from Schiphol.

Hi Richard, a take off is always fascinating and even more so in small prop plane and you captured this well here. The contrast between the clean lines and the gleaming texture of the SAAB makes this one. Nice job,
Have a fine weekend,
Bert

Hello,
Jolie vue aérienne !
malgré l'hélice de l'appareil et le hublot, tu as su tiré parti de ce beau décor. Mais L'image manque une peu de travail au niveau de la composition et du cadrage.
A+

It sounds like a great adventure, Richard, I'm glad I wasn't there! This ia a great aerial shot, not just because of the detail on the ground, but because there is an interesting reflection in the nose of the propeller. A touch of the Earth's curvature in the top left also adds to the composition. Well captured.

Hi Richard
The watercoourse provides good natural perspective. Perhaps I would boost contrast slightly? Good pov & tfs.

Hi richard
Nice shot out of the window and of course the propeller adds a nice detail in the compo of the morning landscape.

Hej Richard,
This must be the village of Spaarndam, not far from my hometown Haarlem! Great to see it from this POV. I like the inclusion of the propeller too. Good work and thanks for sharing!
Hilsen,

Hi Richard,
These small planes are great places to see the world like a patchwork quilt. Especially if you stay at for example 1500 ft. Great places to fill some gigabytes, but with a little bit turbulence difficult circumstances. Groet Rob
