Hi Glyn, you will have seen my competition comments on your image which came very close to coming in the top three. I also commented that this would look great in B&W - a strong conversion with good contrasts would look lovely (not that there's anything wrong with this as it is).

Great shot.

Thanks David. Your comments here and in the competition are very much appreciated.

Just for you I have had a quick go at producing a B&W version which you can see here .

I am not very good at B&W and suspect I may have overdone the contrast a little but I was a bit woried that it looked a bit washed-out .

I prefer the mono version, the green & red distract my eye slightly, but either verison is fabulous shot.

Not a bad landing either, almost exactly 'on the numbers'.

I'm impressed! Showing the green of the threshold lights and the red of the two visible PAPIs makes the shot(s) very natural and all part of the scene.
