Sleek Silvery Death

Reston, Virginia

The Enola Gay - Mother of Sanitized War. Sad how we can take such a terrible weapon and make it look so clean, shiny and sleek.

Super DOF, Pablo. Yes, a terrible weapon. Made more so by that fact that it was ever used.

Powerful image! Regardless of history, the photo is expertly executed.

At least the photo has a nice perspective.

Matias,

Gracias por tus comentarios. Para que quede claro, mi foto de ningun modo pretende glorificar este avion, al contrario, me molesto mucho que lo presentaran en este museo, tan brillantito y limpio en el museo sin NINGUNA mencion du su terrible historia. El titulo lo puse pensando (esperaba) que todo el mundo lo entendiera como ironico.

Esta es una de esas imágenes que sé que no podría tomar jamás. Sin ánimo de ofender a nadie, no veo como una Bomba Atómica puede salvar a nadie. Las repercusiones son inmensas, partiendo por el suicidio de los pilotos.

An awsome image, this airplane and "Bock's Car" probably save my fathers life.

Pablo this is a nice shot... nasty piece of equiptment, but well taken. I like the diagonal comp and perfect dof. Great detail on the nose.. you can count the rivets ;).
