Morning neighbor. What a perfectly timed capture of this great reenactment, Jeff. The mushroom on the explosion couldn't have been caught at a better time and the trailing off of the plane is great too. #1492579

Your DD work makes the scene almost dreamlike, or, I suppose the better word would be, nightmarish.
Excellent timing and composition, Jeff. #10371589

Reminds me of a book of bombing paintings from WWII that my Dad had. It was called "Not as Briefed." Mainly, if not all, B17s.

Just had the same sort of look as this. You've done a terrific job.
