This is such a wonderful photo. You have angled it nicely to capture the sky, water and sand in very good light. Nicely done with the overall composition for this.

An image that doesn't need the story line. It's there. It's loaded with emotional feelings that I wouldn't dare attempt to describe as they come through as being very personal.

But what I like about this is the extended wing tip that nicely provides an establishing feel for the mood and content.

Impressive capture of clouds that you've used to let the collage of palms and scenes below break through in a very magical stream of consciousness technique.

The warm and strong colors in the foreground provide a nice contrast to the white and azure blue of the sky.

I also get a feeling of dream away at this amazing height and the weightlessness of being airborne.

Very reminiscent of your often seen technique of engaging the viewer in an absorbing manner.

    Ups, that was the wrong picture. Didn't read the rules right in first: It has to be a boat or so...I got one just like ask but 'drifting away' not thinking at all l load the wrong one up. Uploadet I looked at it...ups! Just changed the picture to the right one. The picture you just saw has to wait till later. Sorry you were to fast. [What do you up in the middle of the night like that. Putting yourself under stress again?]
    Thanks anyway for your wonderful review for the wrong picture.

    So much about being stupid. I can be really stupid as you see.

    That's such a strong and misused word. Distracted, I think is more appropriate.

    OK. I can agree with this.

    Ring . . . ring . . . I knew you could. Agreeing was the hard part. But you did it. Thanks.

Interesting idea as a whole. It does not translate well for me. I like the wing of plane and the 2 sections on the right, The big section in the clouds looks out of place and flat. It a cool idea that can work.

    Sorry I had upload a completely wrong picture and the wrong comments. I just changed it to the right one.
    Thank you anyway for your kind review on the wrong picture anyway. I think since you wrote to the wrong picture [the collage] and a very helpful there, I own you an answer to it: The big section in the clouds is as the clouds itself and the plan part of the original photo. I didn't merged it in. Only the three vacation dream sequences are added symbolising a dream like imagination of a passenger in a plain what is flying over completely different country. I'm very thankful that you pointed 'the out of place looking' out for just the real part. That shows me that my picture is wrong in concept. The tropical scenes should have looked out of place. So thanks a lot.
