'Love this shot. Exquisite detail, tones, execution in general. 'Moody sky over the old warbird is ideal. We're fortunate up here w/ our skies - always changing, often dramatic.
 
What HiHo and DWT said, Ken this is an impressive photo. The definition, clarity and detail inside that cowling - that is a beast of a power plant. I appreciate the detailed engineering that is behind these seemingly simple machines and your photo captures that awesome understanding for me.
