Fred, I LOVE this shot! How incredible to see something like this and to know you will be flying on it soon. (or did you just land?)

either way, wonderful colors with great focus! I love those propellers, you can just see their spin.

wonderful view.

Great action shot of the sea plane taking off. You were able to capture the waves off of the pontoons and the propellers in full motion to take off out of the water. Great photograph!

You have indeed captured this seaplane well and with the yellow and blue colors the plane is standing out well from the background. I especially like how well you have captured the smoke and the white waters behind the plane, and I also like the straight on approach.

Your photo is for the most sharp and it is fine details to be seen in the plane. It is nothing wrong with the exposure either.

The photo is nicely cropped and I think the plane is well placed within the frame. A truly great looking and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

I've never been in one of these but always found them exciting - a great example of this seaplane taking off/landing? that shows with great clarity the rotors, colours and impression it makes on the water. Well positioned and beautifully taken.

Comment from michiganmike
A great view of this take off. I like the colors of the plane and the way the water is blown into a mist. The rotation of the props is very well captured and the plane is lined up perfectly against the horizon.
