    Very nice shot - don't usually see a plane form this angle but I like it.

    i really like it, nice and with good detail..
    im guessing that you removed the background. i think it would look a lot better with some type of background.

    I have never seen a shot like this before. That is quite the perspective!

    Very cool shot indeed. Reminds me of stuff by Jeffrey Milstein who has a portfolio of photographs of planes from a similar perspective with the background dropped out. I watched an interview with him and he talked about the planning and perseverance required to get those shots so I have to applaud you. Considering it's purpose, it is quite an attractive machine isn't it? The proportions just feel right.

    Great shot! I'm curious if that was taken from directly underneath, looking straight up?

    I think the shot in color, without the background would look very nice!

    Judging by the shadows I'd say it was not shooting straight up, but rather the plane flying wing up.

    I also like the original shot better than the first. Its a very good capture!

    Most likely the case - they tend to yank the Raptor around pretty hard when they do a demo. eek7.gif

    Very nice shot, and I too prefer a little color in the background.
