The proxiity to the tree tops is daunting but fascinating!

Wonderful clarity in this well composed capture. I think the many diagonal lines adds a sense of energy. Due to the extreme airline traffic at Reagan, not sure that would be my first choice of airports to fly out of. V+

Well composed image of the plane and the branches to film the frame V!

Perhaps the American Eagle is on his/her way down!

Very close! And probably loud too.

A fine shot including that tree for depth.

A capture so neat, with the aircraft parallel to the line of the top of the plants. I don't blame you for having this thought, Helen, especially after so many aircrashes in the first 4 months of the year alone.... ~VV~

I would be there all the time. Great capture of the plane passing overhead. The tree adds great context to the scene. V
