Something fantastic! Those incredible lights, big city, reflections in the water ahead and finally this awesome aircraft! I think that this photo should have more than 5 stars! I never experienced so kind of photo on A.net or on any other aviation photo website.

A visitor from United States posted Fri February 15, 2008:
This is NOT an airplane photo. this is simply an astonishing piece of art that demonstrates the sheer visual power of urban life in hong kong

amazing

A visitor from United States posted Sun December 2, 2007:
Wow a great shot with a great back ground

A visitor from Australia posted Sat November 3, 2007:
Kai Tak at night + The Queen of the Skies + The Flying Kangaroo + the "visitors gallery" make for one brilliant photo for the desktop, thanks mate, I rate this as one of my top QF photos

A visitor from Mexico posted Fri October 26, 2007:
Good picture with a very good background. I wish I could be there seeing those beautiful airplanes and that nice airport. Congratulations for that picture!!!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed September 26, 2007:
An amazing backdrop, a beautiful aircraft captured so perfectly!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun September 9, 2007:
What an amazing back drop for this beautiful aircraft

A visitor from Sweden posted Mon September 3, 2007:
Don't think another airport can beat Kai Tak. Just awesome one, thx for sharing for such a nice photo:)

A visitor from United States posted Mon July 23, 2007:
She looks like a big beautiful angel floating through the skies. She's called Queen Of The Skies an rightly so, for she has no competition when it comes to her beauty.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed July 18, 2007:
I think this picture amazing! :O
it just looks so pretty!
all the lights and the plane looks ginormous compared to all the buildings!
such a great photo!

A visitor from United States posted Sun March 25, 2007:
This is just beautiful!

A visitor from Canada posted Sat March 24, 2007:
Bright Lights, Big City!!! Wonderful composition and aperture control. The fog over the city lends to that "other-worldy" glow in the background. Beautiful!

A visitor from Mexico posted Mon March 19, 2007:
The volumen, color and bright of the city lights are unbeliable, nice photo

A visitor from Sweden posted Wed March 7, 2007:
That's why i Miss Kai Tak so much!

A visitor from Belize posted Wed February 14, 2007:
Brilliant Photo!!

A visitor from Spain posted Fri February 9, 2007:
Composition, composition and some more composition. Plus, perfect exposure time & lens aperture. Yes , it does have a sci-fi film quality to it, but , instead of dark , it looks like a New Year's party in the background. Also , the human element gives it perspective, the admired a/c being admired by the admiring. Kudos, Alan!

A visitor from United States posted Thu December 7, 2006:
That is a dazzling photo with the shimmering lights of the city, the reflections on the water, and the big jet at the center. You also show nice contrast of light and dark with the rocks vs the halo of light and foglike effect of the city. Superb

A visitor from Sweden posted Fri December 1, 2006:
Clean shot! Very Beautiful.

A visitor from Saudi Arabia posted Wed October 18, 2006:

A visitor from United States posted Wed August 23, 2006:

A visitor from Colombia posted Sun July 30, 2006:
Night + beutiful background + qantas = perfection

A visitor from Germany posted Wed July 19, 2006:
Among the Best.

A visitor from United States posted Sun July 16, 2006:
I love the "bright lights, big city" feel of this photo. There's a certain Blade Runner or Neo Tokyo/Akira vibe to the shot. Excellent.

A visitor from Jordan posted Thu June 29, 2006:
Very very Beautiful picture

A visitor from Australia posted Wed June 21, 2006:
This is the best one I've ever seen! Actually, I was on this plane on the same date!! I was wondering that it's VH-OJG not VH-OJQ. What a good memories!

A visitor from United States posted Sat February 11, 2006:
This is the best Kai Tak photo, simply because it is a clear, colorful photo, as opposed to the drab colors in other Kai Tak shots.

A visitor from United States posted Mon January 30, 2006:
