Bombay.I have two very contrasting plane views of this city - the other is of shanty towns, which I might submit at a later stage.

I've heard and read about the extraordinary contrast between privelage and desparity near the airport and around the city of Mumbai.

Yes, it's quite astonishing, especially if it's the first time you've come across such a thing. The contrast is apparent throughout the city - it's very odd seeing huge, modern houses, and a few metres away having a family scavenging on the street.

Wow thanks a lot for your kind words. I was actually leaving Bombay to go to Delhi - and I live in London, so it wasn't quite a 'home at last' feeling - but Bombay did feel like home to me, in a strange way...
Thanks again

I like the angle on the shot, and I'm more intrigued by the mechanics and the structure of the plane wing. (Is a geek)

Thanks for the comment, and I'm glad you like it. Actually, the wing is probably my fave part of this shot, so we're thinking along the same lines here.

It would be fantastic if you decided to submit the other at some point as well!
Love the magic hour lighting, the orangey pink glow to the tops of buildings. Beautiful gradient in the sky ta boot

I'll see about the other shot - I looked at it properly and it's not too fantastic - I may stick it in scraps at some point : ) And thanks for your comment

Nice shot. The wing makes it much better than all the boring out-of-a-plane-shots, the colours are nice too.

Yeah the wing for me was vital in this shot. Glad you like it

there's alot of these, but often they look like snapshots, but this one has en excellent execution aswell as composition; the strong shades and detail of the wing enforce the magical shades of the of the view, lovley

Thanks a lot, and I appreciate your descriptive comments. I can see you're not the sort who just says shots are 'great' or 'nice', which is refreshing to see : )

well being a photographer means alot of work and individuality so it should be rewarded with atleast a few sentences

Very true. It's just that many don't offer much of a critique, so when they do, it's pleasing

Wooow this view is awesome! The city is plunged into golden light.
Hehe when I'm flying on holiday, I'm always next to a wing, actually.

Thanks! Aw, yeah I've almost always been next to a wing and I'm usually disappointed about that, but then sometimes you can get more interesting shots with that, especially when you incorporate angles into it.

Marvellous. I love the contrast between the almost natural colour of the town and the harsh mechanics of the wing. It's like they belong to two different worlds.

Thank you : ) You're right, and that's what I personally liked about this shot. I'm glad someone noticed that.

Class, the contrast in colour and form. Might be my favourite shot you've submitted, so far!

I love it hon - anything showing an aircraft and i'm sold 
considering the flaps are down... i'm surprised they didn't complain about an electronic device in use - I'm guessing during take off... Great shot hon
