It̢۪s just amazing how those engines levitate near the fuselage without the wings!

God, they don't make them like this anymore. Ol' DC-3s will fly forever. Excellent capture, good composition! 8

The red is a wonderful contrast against the sky and I like the portrait orientation. It would have been natural to take it as a landscape but this has more effect.

The colors and the crop are excellant. The crop gives a feel of as if the plane is in the air, the stationary propellers gives it a feel that its on the ground so its a kind of dual message for me. overall a great image -8

Good thinking--most show the planes wings, but propellers also have wings of sorts--might say the blades usually have horizontal lift! Beautiful color & composition, and a clever title as well.
