Description
I haven't done anything like this in about half of forever, and I had a great time putting it together! It's a plane prop, of course, from the McMinnville, Oregon museum. The background was way too busy, and what I really wanted you to see was all that gorgeous wood!
Check it out in full view, and you'll see why I chose the title.

I was going to say props for this, but then thought that a bitof a corny gag :) I like the worked background sweetie, sets off the polished wood well.
Excellent.
Wow - what a beauty of a prop, and a great shot of it, Tara! Four of these would look awesome on my Phantom - but not this size LOL!
A beautiful work of art. I love the color and the finish. And I notice it seems to be laminated which is stronger than a single piece of wood. I never noticed that before. You show it very well.
It looks good enough to be their cover poster, this is really good work.
Well done! They are a piece of art.
I easily see why the title very beautiful work went into the making of this prop.
So beautiful! I was offered a Spitfire prop for £30 when I was a student, but it was way beyond my income at the time, about six weeks housekeeping.
Superb capture and post work Tara. God bless.
Oh. My. God! This is amazing! I'm glad to see that it's only been half of forever since you've done one of these! i was afraid it had been longer. This is brilliant, and yes...absolutely yes...full zoom is necessary. I can see the title, and what a wonderful, diminutive invitation to enjoy this business end of a very important piece of machinery! I love the sheen, the texture, and the identification. What's not to love about this? Guess what just so happens to be making a trip into my favorites. And don't blame me if a story comes out of this. How can it be any less than inspiring. I love the title!
Beautiful capture ! The wood texture is superb.
stunning !
Beautiful image,klasse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A lovely job you have made of this Tara and the wood is beautiful.
Very skillful job of removing the background to reveal the beauty of the wood. And the creative crop & presentation further highlight the elegant curve of this classic prop...
Beautifully done; it's a work of art, and you've framed and set it perfectly to show off its best features!
Oh well done! Perfectly processed to show off that gorgeous rich wood!
Don't you just prefer this craftsmanship... Lovely work, beautiful shot Rob
