Challenge: Free Study XIII (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III
Location: Sydney, Australia
Date: Sep 3, 2006
Aperture: 10
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/800
Date Uploaded: Sep 24, 2006

 This shot was taken just shortly after the plane took off from Sydney airport and I noticed it was on a heading close to the late afternoon moon. I was lucky to get them both in frame against a nice blue sky. The only editing was having it cropped and sharpened then resized for submission.

Good clear shot of the plane, the moon finishes it nicely.

Wow! Way to go making something incredibly dramatic out of a normal fly-by! The moon is so awesome in this photo! Great timing!

Neat shot with the moon there. Like it. I've been trying my hand at planes. Not easily done. You did a job.

Nice sharp photo. I wonder if a little noise reducation on the sky might have worked to make it outstanding?

the negative space to the left and lower left of the plane is a good inclusion, but I wonder if the negative space on the top and right of the frame is too much. overall well done though.
