Comment from Photography byTrixie
I could tell you were safe because you are still on here. Great picture. I suppose it would not be very funny to say it was the Malaysian Airline. The worst part is no one knows where he plane went. Great photo. Technical 5 technique 5 lighting 5 color 5 impact 5 I am really not a fan of little planes. .

Comment from Faybells
This photograph is the sort that tells a story but every one would have their own angle on it. Its quite interesting as you have to look at the whole photo and then wonder what it all means.

There is so much this photo is saying. Love the shadow and light. Good composition. Even though the plane is dark, you can still see details. I really like this.

Fred,
A true photographer recording moments in life as the occur that might be life changing, that would still be on your memory card if the Plane had have Crashed & if found would have explained Why? Brilliant composition framing beautiful lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

Comment from Mollie213
Very unusual photo.
Don't know what the conversation was between the two pilots, but hope it all ended up good.

I don't fly unless it is emergency. We use to own a four seater plan and my husband and I flew all the time.

I just hope all the paassengers and being properly care for in the
Malaysia incident.

You have give good clarity
here, enough to see just enough of the controls for us
to realize what it is.

It looks very realistic. Sometimes, the fewer the colors, the better projection.

Thank you for sharing

Great, if somewhat nerve wracking capture of a pilot learning the ropes. The image is sharp, with good DOF.

WOW what a moment and you of course cached the absolute perfect second to get an extraordinary image - I am happy you landed safely -

I am wondering that this door to the cockpit was open so everybody can see what they are doing

Amazing frame - perfect focus and contrast , shot against the day light, but with super clear detail's and an outstanding story to tell, well done

there are no doors in these small planes....
when there is only one pilot, I can seat with him;
many thanks again

I thought for a minute that you had solved the current airine mystery. This is neat shot with good focus, contrast and a little mystery of its own. Well done Fred and thanks for sharing. Glad you arrived safe and sound.

Regards,
Robin.
