Dawn Patrol, a photo from Massachusetts, Northeast

Photographer's Note

Just prior to dawn on the day of the air show, this 66 year old aircraft waits to become a crowd pleaser. The workshop shows a view from the nose of the aircraft in flight. The history of the aircraft is available on the web if you surf up "Larry Kelley's B-25 Panchito"

Hello Greg,

The lovely light in the morning sky really enhances the impression of the old aircraft!
The sinister silhouette makes a strong impact, with the well recognizable details...
The subject is well framed and presented in an effective composition!

Greetings,

Hello Greg,

What a great shot of this old aircraft.
There is just enough detail in the silhouette to really interest the viewer; then the sky showing through the cockpit window, adds eyes and character to the plane.
Your crop creates a good balance of aircraft and sky.

We have just come back from Lincolnshire, where we visited the Battle of Britain Memorial. There were Spitfires, Lancasters and many other planes, all being maintained, ready for flight.

Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

Hello Greg,

With the deep shadows the silhouette of the plane becomes very dramatic, as if the photo was shot in the sky by a camera mounted on a wing. Very good photo.

Warm regards,

Bulent
