Nice idea, but I don't think it really works, took me a long time to find the plane.

@ friiskiwi, I don't understand how it took you a while to find. Every time I look at the picture (not thumbnail obviously) my eyes direct me straight at the plane (even though it is so small).

I have to admit this photo has to be viewed as a whole in order for the subject to stand out at all.

Since I could be biased to my own photo, my question to you is what part of the photo does your eyes point to when you glance at this photo as a whole full sized. If it is at the plane, I think it was a successful subject, if not then please tell what part of the photo your eye goes to first.

Now that I know the plane is there, the eye will go to it, but I think initially my eye was looking at the amazing cloud formation you have captured.

This is awesome, Author !

excellent snap...........

Love it, but how did you manage to capture it? That's the thing that intrigues me. (then again, I'm no photographer)

Good luck

@ nbaztec, I was on a plane

o.O Isn't on-deck photography kinda forbidden? It is from where I come from. I remember I couldn't get a nice clean cloud-shot without the hostess constantly requesting me to "Sir, kindly put down your camera".
If that's the case, kudos on being a stubborn photographer

@ nbaztec, I know there is a rule about not using cameras (electronics in general) during liftoff and landing, but I don't think there is anything against photography. I was on the plane with my camera for a good 14 hours and no one seemed to care.

love the picture, with all the colors of lothes behind him..., hes so happy with his bday cake

This is the best photo of this contest!

What a great shot, and all three butterflies are in beautiful, sharp, focus. Well done!
