 Alternate title was SOS, I'll see how it fairs...

***
These dusters make the rounds, especially during the spring when the threat of rain is eminent. This pilot was swooping right over the road, and the sign seemed like a natural fit. Didn't notice the yellow line or sign until someone mentioned it. I was panning with his motion to keep him in the frame so sharpness is not great. I usually try to leave just before they make the pass that would take them right over the top of me. I don't care for pesticides/crop protectants! Or I just roll up my windows fast as they scream overhead.
Here is a another one from another challenge--long buried in my archives.

This is such a great combination of items it almost seems fake (like photoshopped in) - I'm sure it's not, just an observation. The clouds are PERFECT, and the timing to get that plane in there - way cool! Add a curving, meandering road and the speed limit sign - what more could you ask for? I'd have cloned out the car bottom right. :D PDQ - I guess you're either talking about the plane - or - the photographer reaction - or - the shutter speed. Very well done. Congratulations!

Funny!! Well done, too. I like how the yellow is echoed in the stripe on the road and the sign. Great shot!

Whats funny is i saw this in the forums already. Cool image minus the fact that it looks fake due to the aliasing on the plane (What some people call jaggies)

I love the colors, the airplane! All of it!

wow! that's a great photo. I think the speed limit sign is funny for your challenge theme, but the shot would be so much better without, IMO.

Nice work, great work.

On some level this is working on me because of spring fever. I can't wait for green grass again!

Marvelous photo! You captured that crop-duster very nicely. Clouds are striking. Not sure PDQ is pronounced as a word, tho.
