Stunning image, Jonathan. Colours and framing, just perfect.
Best wishes,

Nice shot, I like vivid red colour of the chopper. You caught it well.

Was this taken from the pilot's seat?

Nicely captured!

Thanks for the comments! The picture was taken from the my room on the ninth floor of the hotel I was staying in, in downtown Melbourne. I'd seen helicpoters landing on a pontoon in the river and had a very good vantage point to get this shot after one took off. It's taken through glass, (which had just been cleaned!) , using a polariser that was too big for the lens I was using held over the front of the lens.

I bet this wasn't an easy one to get right, depending on the speed of the chopper, but you've caught it nice and sharp.

Good capture aliengrove. I little more "air" below the chopper would be good.

Ian.
