Description
Bear with me, I am experimenting with some new (to me) possibilities in Photoshop. My aim here was to reduce the Dayton museum clutter in the background and foreground to almost nothing but still leave a trace of it to provide context for the photo.
Also played with ways to light just the aircraft and it worked!
For all: This is a very rare German Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9 surrendered at Flensberg in Northern Germany at the end of hostilities in May 1945.
For Aviation enthusiasts and/or others of you who love details and trivia, read THIS PAGE and gander at the restoration pictures at the bottom of it.
Note: Rob (debbielove) will be uploading this aircraft in the future...tried to make my presentation different. Hope I haven't stolen your thunder Rob!
Bill:)

outstanding post work Bill
stellar capture and PS work!
Great shot. The prop is a spare for the Ju88 . . . it will jump out at you when you next look at the AFM 88. This prop would never work on this plane - too large a diameter and the root chord is too broad, almost hitting cowl now, no room for increased pitch. But . . . it's all original, including paint! This plane recently got it's wings back from Yellow 10 (the D-13). They got them swapped WAY back when and, though the error was discovered some time ago, the Air Force didn't deem it desirable to correct the situation until more recently. Great job on post, by the way.
The Battlestar Galactica (reimagined verion) fan in me sees this almost as a Colonial Viper Mark 2, in one of the Galactica's landing nacelles...but that's just me. I think it's the muted background that does it for me. It has a cinematic quality to it, and an echo of past hostilities that are remembered, but they mean something else now. Your work with the lighting and the details is amazing. You have an obvious love for aircraft, and that shows beautifully in your aviation-related work. Keep it coming!
dark neutral backgrounf works excellent. love the contrast and pov. Well done, Bill!
Gorgeous smooth light here Beautiful shot
Outstanding P

Lovely shot of the D-9!
Now you know I LOVE this !!!. Great what you've done to it, it really jumps out.A beautiful aircraft and an INSTAFAVE...
Super work on this Bill, it looks lovely, very nice the way the plane is lit up..
Cool manipulation. Great presentation and pov of the plane.
Lovely view of the long nose "Dora" with the inline engine.
Thank you Bill, for sharing this amazing looking Focke Wulf; I had a feeling, that you might have had some pics stashed away, from the Deutsche Luftwaffe... marvellous job, you did it justice, BB
