    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks
    Thanks for the comments everyone. I agree the second one is the better image, but I think the first one looks like an airplane getting ready for take-off and I love airplanes.

    Thanks again

    You're right-- it does look like an airplane that is ready to take off. I have a similar one that I think looks like it is ready to take off; I used to have a caption under it that said "Ready for takeoff!" Here is a link if you're interested:

    I like to see the more unusual poses like you captured. Mostly we try to show the classic poses - I think - and disregard some really interesting photos in the process.
