    It was not my intention to scare people when I took this photo! I am sorry if my photo brought back very bad memories. I am a Brit passing through that great city!

Interesting perspective, it almost looks like the plane is going toward the building, I'm sure you captured this just as you saw it, because of the angle of the plane in relation to the building, and not as a reminder of that tragic day, you have captured it well with good sharp focus, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones appear natural in this lighting! Well composed and presented!

    I did not get this photo as a reminder of 9/11, but as a Brit who saw something up there in the sky! Many thanks for your balanced review!!

    That?s what I thought, I knew you didn?t !
Comment from Kendra Disilva


I'm giving five stars because the photo is sharp , the clouds are great. The depth of the architecture is well seen.
But I hate this shot all together not to be mean really it just reminds me of 9/11 .. Who could ever want a photo in NYC of a plane that looks like it's flying into a sky scraper?
Not trying to offend you at all I just got a creepy feeling with this photo.
Good luck to you .

    Your fine and detailed review is much appreciated! When I took the shot 9/11 did not enter my mind. Maybe it was because I am a Brit?

    Maybe .. why would you if you are then!!

    This was a instantaneous reaction shot to what I saw in the sky that morning. Just a Brit on my second visit to New York.
Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Perfect timing!
Excellent choice of subject--long shot but still visible!
Subtle colors.
Subdued illumination.
Sharply focused.

Good perspective & long depth of field...

Thanks for sharing...

Can see why you wanted this plane taken as it flew between these skyscrapers,does give us a reminder of that dreadfull day and what happened.
I think though this would have been a much better shot with just the plane[maybe a tad bigger]and the skyscraper on the right,the sky is quite good so I think the drama of the photo would have increased,might be wrong though in that its just how I see this...Brian

An interesting shot with very nice composition. I like the color of the buildings and the great clouds that make a fine background for the plane. Very fine architectural detail and beautiful colors.

A picture far too reminiscent for many people. that were there. Good shot, a bit of a classic. Monochromatic foe the most part. Good timing. Sharp focus. Well done.

Nik,
Yes this brings one back to that dreadful day that changed America for ever!! Thankfully your plane is flying over the skyscrapers under a cloudy sky. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus. Susan

nice capture of the plane between the buildings, just pity it is so small in the frame and hard to see

good timing and light handling

Quite a terrifying thought indeed! An interesting shot. Great clarity and dof! The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!
