This prop sits on a post outside the Qld air museum

yep, it sure doesn't. cleanest. propeller. ever.
I like the quality of light. nice.

Thanks WD. It was very bright mid-morning light but that's what drew me to this composition. I liked the way the top edge of the centre cone was reflecting the sun.

shiny stuff in the sun is a challenge...you definitely rose to it.

:rolleyes:
nothing like shiny propellers to lead to innuendos!

but back to the topic at hand, it's a nifty picture.

Nifty's a good thing right?? :)

Love the lighting, and the reflections really work here MA. Nicely done.

Excellent shot! Composition is striking, it's sharp as can be, has super reflections and shooting chrome is a tough job in the first place. Great execution!:clap::clap:

Thanks Bambi, Matt and HBG :)

I'm liking it too. What I can't quite figure out is the angle here. I am expecting to see you in the reflection but you're not there!

Zoom lens. I am in there I think but not recognisable.

well made

I like the comp here as well!

Thanks guys

Great shot MA...bet it looks killer good in BW as well. Either way, frame it, hang it. :)

Almost a soft focus effect, nice one. Nice OOF area too.

Thank you both :)

I really like the perspective in capturing this prop. Also nice job in handling the harsh light.

Thanks asnow :)

Very cool shot MA:thumbup:

Cheers Maw :)
