Nice shot. Must be great wherever you where/work to get these type of shots. Not something everone can do. But still missing something. Maybe some grunge on the wing L()L. Nice capture.

Pretty tall forrest - just kidding.
Powerful image captured here.
Certainly not a point of view we would get to see very often in life.

I'm not sure that this will stand out amongst all the great Free Study entries, but it's a well-taken shot through a plane window.

Whoever this is, I just have too give you props for caring about what it is an dactually making it "of" something, rather than just doing a technically good shot. 10
