Marvellous shot, terrific colours and HDR work!
Thanks very much.
What a wonderful plane
It has a lot of character. Thanks for the comment.
That brings back memories. I once took my car from Southend to Calais in one of those. It was a regular service in the 60s. Great shot.
That would have been a wonderful experience. Was it noisy and rough?
The HDR fits this subject well. Very nice.
It was a good subject for the treatment, had I known I was going to find it I would have taken the tripod.Thanks for the comment Eileen.
This is really well done, brilliant image.
Thanks Nigel.
Nice shot of a great aircraft….timm

Thanks Peter. This one worked out alright for a hand held triple exposure.
Amazing perspective gives such a powerful look !!
Thanks Dianne, I didn’t have much choice with regards to perspective as I was behind a barricade.
