This shot captures the perfect moment when a Geodis aircraft, presumably an Airbus, lands on wet tarmac through a thick downpour. The drops literally fly across your screen, splashing from the landing gear and pulled along by the powerful turbulence behind the wings. The aircraft cuts through the rain like a knife, with an impressive mix of speed, mass and water. Geodis' white-and-blue colour scheme stands out sharply against the grey sky, adding contrast and power to the image. As an aviation photographer, these are the moments you wait for, where the weather is not a hindrance but rather an enhancer. Everything in this image exudes power, timing and raw beauty of aviation.
