Entry comments

Mike, I expected you to participate in this challenge - and what a great photo. Certainly, it is not the most spectacular shot of the competition at first glance - and that seems to be what a lot of voters look for -, but everything about this shot is just perfect: framing, timing, exposure. But most of all it lets me feel the plane coming in (or taking off?). Very, very well done. Congrats!
