Wow this one looks like its straight out of a battle scene. What are you shooting with?

Thanks Brett. I used a d200 with 200mm lens on this one.

thanks

Very nice capture, it could be a 50 y/o picture from the ww2. Congratulations

That's a Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bomber. I agree with the others, looks very authentic - that could pass for smoke rising off the Akagi, perhaps?!

the dramatic smokes make the plane really stand out. excellent capture and composition. congrats.

I don't like this one as much as the others, there is smoke and it is dramatic but compositionally it just doesn't work so well. If that were smoke rising from the Akagi this Dauntless would be about to be shot down! You don't linger over the burning carrier in one of these, you dive, drop, and scram. For my money your shot with the B-25 and P-51 together is the best of this series.
