 A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri December 21, 2007:Almost unreal... those wing vortices are just "textbook", perfect example of what happens when the wing cuts throu the air... amazing shot. | |
 A visitor from United States posted Mon December 17, 2007:Awesome, I,v seen this from time to time! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri December 14, 2007: A semester class on aerodynamics in one picture; literally worth a thousand words! | |
 A visitor from France posted Wed September 19, 2007:Amazing vortices! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed August 15, 2007: That's a photo of the air stired up from the engines, but how they got a photo of it, I don't know. | |
 A visitor from Switzerland posted Tue August 14, 2007:Freakin' amazing | |
 A visitor from Netherlands posted Mon July 30, 2007:It's a very beautiful picture which show the romans and secrets behind the aircraft. | |
 A visitor from Chile posted Mon July 9, 2007:Fascinating, very good, very good!! | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat July 7, 2007: I have flown on this bad- boy. Don't you just love the 757-200! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 4, 2007: Beautiful--gives new meaning to the phrase "dual core". | |
 A visitor from Canada posted Thu April 5, 2007:Lovely vortices and terrific composition. | |
 A visitor from Belgium posted Sun March 18, 2007:It is a wonderful picture of vortex and we can see how a little vortex can become a big one | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun January 28, 2007: Best Photo I Have Seen Ever, Of Anything. I Almost Had An Idea It Was Edited. Well Done! | |
 A visitor from Spain posted Sun January 14, 2007:Great!!! | |
 A visitor from Argentina posted Sat December 30, 2006:Just WOW! | |
 A visitor from Philippines posted Sat December 16, 2006:Thanks for having us experience one of the best shots. keep going. this is awesome | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed December 6, 2006: Rare and clear example of the vorticies | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sat November 11, 2006: This image capturesso many'WAKE' related characteristics in 1 image, it is without doubt the most amazing image of this simultaneosly beautiful and potentially life threatening event. The image captured the decompression vapor over the wings- what appears to be tighter wound vortices off the flaps, and the generation ultimately of monster sized vortices from the wingtips themselves. Fabulous - and to some degree - very lucky catch. | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue August 22, 2006: Never seen anything like it ever before, this is one of a kind. It's a great catch. | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon August 21, 2006: I rate this 5* because it's a picture that shows an effect which is so hard to catch, also the way the photographer has managed to bring out the colours in the vortices | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon August 21, 2006: Nice exposure and white balance... tis a damn good shot! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Tue August 8, 2006: It clearly shows both the wingtip vortices and the flap end vortices that form due to localized low pressure there. Misting on top also shows localized low pressure. And it's just a cool look with white whispy shapes and sharp airplane foreground. | |
| A visitor from Canada posted Tue August 8, 2006: It rox | |
| A visitor from Switzerland posted Sat August 5, 2006: If the Pilots would have a mirror to take a look back... ;-) | |
| A visitor from France posted Fri August 4, 2006: Splendid! It looks like a Tim Burton's movie, very nice shot. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed August 2, 2006: Awesome, just shows the amount of energy involved in producing lift | |
 A visitor from Pakistan posted Sat July 22, 2006:Awesome.super example of aerodynamics. | |
 A visitor from Israel posted Sat July 15, 2006:Waw | |
 A visitor from Finland posted Mon June 26, 2006:A fairytale- scene! Amazing! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sat June 24, 2006: Timing of the photo had to be perfect to get the aircraft and wake tubulence together. | |
| A visitor from Canada posted Fri June 2, 2006: One of best pictures I've seen | |

| A visitor from Netherlands posted Wed May 24, 2006: Wow... | |
| A visitor from France posted Tue May 16, 2006: Very nice shot, congratulations | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Fri May 12, 2006: We all make lucky shots but this one hardly could be. Sort of back light and waiting for the right moment and the right light!! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri April 28, 2006: Beautiful shot of decompression vapor above the wings, of tight vortices off the flaps, and huge vortices from the wingtips! You don't plan shots like this... you luck into them! | |
| A visitor from Canada posted Wed April 26, 2006: Another great shot by Steve Morris. The visible trailer and wing vortex capture the dynamics of the 757's tremendous wake. Morris' other images also play with shadow, mist, fog, natural lighting and the sky to make the wake visible. Quite a uniqe perspective. Well done again! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sun April 16, 2006: Awesome pic | |
 A visitor from Germany posted Thu April 13, 2006:On this photo one can see why the 757 is in the heavy wake catagory eventhough it has less weight and size than normal heavy aircraft. Very nice photo. Thanks | |
| A visitor from United States posted Tue April 11, 2006: Awesome photo!! I presume those are vortices. Was it a humid day? | |

| A visitor from United States posted Sun March 5, 2006: The wing vortex is un-rivaled! Truely the majestic flight could not be portrayed better! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sun March 5, 2006: Soweeeet that's probably one of the most amazing shot's I've ever seen. Once in a lifetime (ok maybe twice) but still, the weather and airplane have to be just perfect to get that kind of effect. | |

| A visitor from Brazil posted Mon February 27, 2006: That is real or is a rehearsal in a wind tunnel? Congratulations to Mr. Steve Morris for the patience and for the whole feeling that he got to press in this great shot. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Mon February 27, 2006: Boeing aircraft are just so appealing! - Jason of RDU! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Mon February 27, 2006: Simply amazing! Really illustrates why there is a 5 mi separation from the B757 for other traffic... That's one hell of a wake! Cheers - Jeff | |
