Support, well-composed although I wish they could have been sharper near the edges.

Support. Very nice. Just wondering how you got the aerial shot? Helicopter tour or something along those lines? It might explain the sharpness issues in the corners if shot through a window. Nicely composed though. The two images complement each other nicely.

Hi
Diliff- I’ve done a few helicopter shoots and this one was fairly challenging as regulations did not allow for flying over land (only over the rivers and canals) within SPB central district, no hovering was permitted and a fairly fast rate of forward motion was required. I was able to shoot through a sliding window, though it was a tight fit at times due to the angle of the lens. It felt very rushed so I am very lucky (IMO) to have gotten some of the images I did.--
