    Nr 1 looks almost like a scale model helicopter because o the out of focus foreground and the high point of view.
    Nr 2 is very cool when he looks at you :-)

    I love #2. It has such great detail on the chopper, and the main rotor is almost perfectly frozen. The bank he's in also adds to the scene; level flight looks kinda routine, but a banking turn gives a sense of movement to the machine, even when there is nothing else in the frame.

    I also keep hearing the theme from M*A*S*H in my head when I look at that shot.

    Through early morning fog I see
    visions of the things to be
    the pains that are withheld for me
    I realize and I can see...
