KC and the Sunshine Land - a photo on Flickriver

            OK, so a wee bit uncomfortable in the cropping but, hey, sometimes it's OK to flout the rule. Right?

This is ZD952, the RAF's now retired TriStar KC1 crossing the threshold at Brize Norton.

As I say, a bit of a challenge against all known laws of composition but I like the textures, light, shadows and a rare glimpse at all of the refuelling paraphernalia.

If you can't dig it, then I'll not take it too personally. :-)
