Hi Darcy. We really like this one. mind if we crop?
sure thing. crop away. I can provide a fresh export from Aperture, too, so there's less compression. How do you want it? TIFF? send it via email?
escape by D'Arcy Norman.
An extremely strong thunderstorm brewed over northwest calgary on the evening of July 13. The sun was just beginning to set, and was lighting the clouds from the side. I was trying to get a good shot of this cloud from my bedroom window, when a plane suddenly appeared, looking as though it was trying to fly away from the cloud...

That's an incredible shot, D'Arcy. Almost surreal in its scale.

Thanks! It was total luck that the plane flew the shot, but it sure adds to it :-)

Remarkable reminder of just how tiny we all are in the face of Mother Nature (and she looks none too pleased here...). Amazing shot!

thanks, all! I'm really happy with how the shot came out (although I'd _REALLY_ love a better 300mm lens as the one I have is a little soft).

This photo is currently the desktop image on one of my displays. Just can't stop looking at it :-)
