I like the warping. Not sure about the shadows bottom left. Prefer the bottom right. Am curious how you got access/permission? Limited time would make perfecting this image very difficult.
I worked on the ground for SW and my supervisor let me take my camera out during some downtime. I unfortunately didn't have anything other than the airport lighting, which in that area had both warm and cool color lamps along the fence in front of the plane. Unfortunately the lighting is the best I could get with what I had.
Its a good capture, its a different view than we normally get at the airport. if somehow you could get it while the lists on the plane are on, or other pans going by in the background, or other movement would be kinda cool. but I like the view. is this right behind the front gear? or did you have more room to go towards the front of the fuselage?
I wish I could have! Unfortunately, this was taken at 3 in the morning when there was no traffic at the airport and when there is traffic, I wouldn’t have had the time or parked plane to take it. It was a limited opportunity kinda deal. I was sitting against the nose wheel, it’s the only way the wings would fit in, even at 14mm which I believe is what I took this at. I had the camera on my legs to pull it off the center line and try to get a slightly longer exposure to get enough light.
