There's not too much technical merit to this shot, but I've always been fascinated by airplanes in flight. As a kid in the early 1950s, I used to try to shoot planes flying over with my Brownie Hawkeye - never with any success.

It was a cold, clear morning one day last week and there were a number of contrails overhead. The planes were invisible to the naked eye, but I put my Sigma 70-300 APO DG on my RebelXT and got a few decent handheld shots.

That was 100% cropped. Originally taken in RAW, compressed to JPEG and then cropped.
