Excellent shot, Axel. It's so simple but very effective.

Cool shot Axel! These planes were nicknamed Erdnagel (earth nail) by German pilots due to their propensity for falling out of the sky. The leading edge of the wing is also so sharp you can cut yourself on it.
yep - it was possible to touch the wings - before, I always thoght that this is just a kind of phrase to emphasize, that they were kind of sharp - but wow - they were sharp as a kitchen knife - and this even on this old aircraft - they must have been really sharp, when they were new

Wonderful work - really like the juxtaposition of the graphic lines of the aircraft against the gentle organic shapes of the clouds. Superb processing
