Love the size of the fuselage, just has an amazing shape about it and the Iberia jet has a striking graphic nature… great looking plane, not so good an airline!

    Oooooh – This is awesome.. Love the colour pallet.. great composition and cropping as always.. The crisp & drity whites are fantastic as is the graphic tarmac in foreground. NICE!

    Beautiful image! Interesting how the dirt on the fuselage makes the picture even more interesting. Were you inside the airport building when you took this one?

    Lovely shot. I really like the colour balance in your pictures. Some how you manage to make things look really soft somehow without being muted. Nice and very much a signature to your pictures as well. Lovely.

    Paul, great work as to be expeced by someone with your talent! :D:D How did this get so pink? It’s a colur that’s associated with femininity and girly things but here t sit so well with a man made flying object of great power! Pure magic!

    I’ve checked with the art photographers union, and there’s a potential demarkation disspute here,
    I’m the airplane guy. I like the way the fuselage does not have a begining or an end, could take you anywhere, stuck with no escape behind those dirty little windows begining to weep with neglect, 20thC technology just starting to show its age, in a few decades it will look as ancient as a steam train. Slightly sinister but as beautiful as anything nature can toss at us.

    great piece paul… I also love the cropping and great colours. The scale of the plane really hits you when you focus on the small windows. Maybe it’s because i hate flying, but i find commercial aircraft so captivating…

  • meanderthal

    meanderthal, about 1 year ago

    fabulous shot paul… the composition just oozes style….love your treatment as always….flown iberia a few times myself and i’d have to agree with you on your assessment.. although the worst has to be aerolineas argentinas… brilliant stuff with this one though…

    Hey another striking industrial shot Paul, the colours just jump of the page at you but remain so soft and delicate. Love this.

  • Suzanne German

    Suzanne German, about 1 year ago

    the tone and the contrasting cherry almost candy coloured stripes next to a big bold aeroplane setting….’set it off’..... for me.. :)

  • Bruce  Watson

    Bruce Watson, about 1 year ago

    Pick of the ‘crop’. Nice earthy tones mixed with the red. Reminds me of some Photoshop duotone effects. Nice.

    marieancolie, about 1 year ago

    Poor company Iberia …..... They are in a real bad situation !
    Anyway.. as I love planes so much, I like the photo very much ! The colours, the light on it, the lighting around.. A s in a dream for me.

    Ps : Paul, I do not understand your sentence on my photo “fly me to the moon”.. Can you help me to better understand …. Sorry to be so stupid :((

  • Mel Brackstone

    Mel Brackstone, about 1 year ago

    Very creatively framed…..and the colours are amazing!

  • Melinda Kerr

    Melinda Kerr, about 1 year ago

    I love the way the little windows match the diagonal lines. Is it my imagination or are you changing your cropping of late from horizontal to square? It’s a great eye that can do that. I can only seem to frame in landscape. Well done Mr V another ripper.

  • theurbannexus

    theurbannexus, about 1 year ago

    That is fantastic. Airliner shots have always excited me, and the dramatic red and stormy tones do it for me. The foreground accentuates this feeling… love it.

  • Sabine Spiesser

    Sabine Spiesser, about 1 year ago

    Being in the right place at the right time!!! Well done.
    I bet Iberia would have preferred a less sharp rendition of their old birds.

    Hiya Paul

    Thanks for your comments. This must be a bit of a mutual appreciation society because I really like your work two- particularly pieces like this one that display very strong graphic and formal qualities. Reminds me a little of painter Jeffrey Smart, a bit of a hero of mine.

    Cheers

    Hi Paul, magic shot…it looks surreal, the colours ,tones …I had a quick look around for a hidden body, legs but couldn’t find any;)

  • Antoni Alonso

    Antoni Alonso, about 1 year ago

    great shot! It’s like a portrait of a plane! and somehow makes me feel like you’ve taken this plane into a photography studio.

    and it has a familiar feeling. How much this people made me suffer back at home!

    I had seen this one before, hadnt commented it yet, but it definitely deserves some more love… Wonderfully powerful image. I love how the red of the plane comes back in the stripes on the ground, and the darkness of the sky in the ground aswell… Perfect post processing!

    Somehow I missed this until now. Damn! This image is EVERYTHING I love. I was an Army brat and raised in airports; they still hold grand fascination for me. And did I mention I love very graphic work? This hits the mark on so many levels—perfect.

    I’ve always liked that word: fuselage (??)
    WOW! This is a stunner for sure….........!
    There’s a sweet polished sheen on much of your work.
    It’s certainly your trademark! It appeals to me greatly.

    The three sons of Prince Akbar of Saudi Arabia were all due to come of age.

    The prince asked the first son. what do you want as a gift from me and my people?

    The son answered “Father I would like a yacht!”
    The Prince bought him the Cunard Liner Queen Mary 2

    The Prince asked the second son what would he like
    The Son replied “Father I would like a fast car”
    The Prince bought him the Maclaren Formula 1 team

    The Prince then asked his youngest (and dimmest) son the same question
    The Son replied “Gee dad, I guess i would like a cowboy outfit!”
    The Prince bought him the Iberia airline!

    boom boom look everyone i’m really sorry, it’s late and my brain wants to sleep
