This picture shows a Delta aircraft hitting the track at full speed during a heavy downpour. Water splashes forcefully upwards from the tyres, the drops flying towards the lens and giving the image a dynamic as if you were standing next to it yourself. The recognisable dark blue tail and red and white Delta colours contrast beautifully with the wet, grey background. The aircraft, probably an Airbus or Boeing from the long-haul fleet, shows how impressive aviation is, even in bad weather. This is not a slick promo image, but pure, raw aviation in action. For me, this is one of those moments where speed, power and technology come together in one splashy image.
