Piece description from the artist
A dramatic side-profile study of a Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress (Memphis Belle) banking smoothly past a low setting sun. Captured from an elevated three-quarter vantage point, the composition highlights the olive-drab airframe, WWII squadron markings, and nose artwork against a layered sky of moody overcast clouds above and a warm golden haze below. The low sun near the horizon casts a soft, warm glow along the forward nose section and wing edges, setting off the dark, heavy tones of the cloud ceiling.
From the smallest details of macro to the vast panorama of a landscape, with a quick stop off at many subjects in between, Rick's passion for detail and capturing the moment has inspired him to shoot many different genres. He enjoys traveling to different parts of the world and will take his camera, even on work trips. More recently, he has been practicing creating artistic renditions of his photograph.
