A photo taken from off the runway at Boston's Logan International Airport on a late afternoon in September.
It was a busy time at the departure side of the airport, given that it was about 5:30pm.
Long lens and fairly small aperture gave me the ability to, not only, compress the view, but also have reasonable DOF.
I particularly like the jet exhaust vapor distortions on the background and did some post work to enhance them a little.
Shot in RAW, converted to jpeg and resized for posting.

You had a good viewpoint for the takeoff of this picture. The observation deck on our airport terminal allows for photographs of takeoffs but nothing with the kind of activity is shown here in the background. The late afternoon sun really highlights the ground and the planes lined up on the left. Sure hope that the viewing in our city improves with the opening of new terminal later this year.

The airport here in Launceston has undergone major developments and we no longer have a viewing platform. Excellent choice of settings Wilt and a lovely golden light,
