rdubay 0 Posted March 6, 2007 ...that goshdurn plane got in the way ;) No, astounding shot, really. Positioning of plane at mid-radius, 5 o'clock is perfect. Could be a logo for JAL. Link to comment

raczoliver 70 Posted August 23, 2007 This IS an original shot. Many similar shots have been taken, but not this way. I guess an alien spaceship in front of Mars would in fact be more original than a boring MD-11 in front of the sun. We can also look at it this way... The people on the plane must be feeling hot, by the way;-) Link to comment
Emmanuel Enyinwa 0 Posted August 23, 2007 Odd, but the more I look at this picture, the more the images of 9/11 flash to my mind, and the more I ask myself if the same trickery was not used there. There's something about the almost perfect technical brilliance of this shot that, to me, is a bit disconcerting. I suppose this has something to do with the fact that I always expect imperfection in art--dust spots on Ansel Adams' prints, smudges on the Mona Lisa, unsmoothed textures in Michaelangelo's David, wetness from drooling on my son's lips in his portraits. This image, with its surreal perfection almost begins to lose the feel of art to me, and becomes a dry, mindless scientific exercise, almost like listening to a doctore describe a medical condition. To me, real art evokes a FEELING, a romance. This picture merely inspires a belief that the taker must have worked hard to arrive at where he did. This is the feeling I get from reading a legal article, and the LAST thing I expect to feel when I view a work of art. Link to comment
brodeub 0 Posted August 24, 2007 I had the same initial reaction when I saw this shot - it evoked images of 9/11, which, however, is quite unfortunate after reading back on the delight that viewers took when this image was first posted in early 2001. Link to comment
