A winner :)

A visitor from Romania posted Sat September 30, 2006:
Rotate! Wow! This is the best 747 photo I've seen so far. Everything is just right: the angle, the lighting, the composition. There's a sense of mass and shear power emanating from this one of a kind photo. 5 start, Sam!

A visitor from United States posted Fri August 25, 2006:
Unbelievable photo

A visitor from United States posted Sat August 19, 2006:
The angle, distance, and position makes this one of THE best shots of a B744 TO I'v ever seen. It's so majestic and so powerful. Well done.

A visitor from Germany posted Mon August 14, 2006:
Very great shouth

A visitor from United States posted Tue July 18, 2006:
I'm absolutely speechless,...I'm in awe! Phenominal photo of this magnificent bird!...and i might add, "a great airline too."

A visitor from United States posted Sun June 18, 2006:
This photo is clear and no obstructions, you can see everything great. The closeness of the airplane is the best thing of the shot. Say it was from the same angle but a long ways away, that would be like every picture on a.net but this is exceptional work. Great job!

A visitor from Mexico posted Sat June 10, 2006:
¡WOW! Just amazing, looks like if the plane was static.

A visitor from United States posted Fri June 9, 2006:
Very nice.

A visitor from United States posted Sun May 7, 2006:
Extraordinary

A visitor from Canada posted Wed May 3, 2006:
Could you get any closer?

A visitor from Canada posted Mon April 3, 2006:
Beautify photo Sam! Perfect timing, stunning aircraft, great light and, to be honest, I am also partial to United.

A visitor from South Africa posted Thu March 16, 2006:
The 747 seen like this portrays the same power as coming face to face with a Great White under water.

A visitor from Germany posted Sat March 4, 2006:
Just amazing!!!I can feel the power!!

A visitor from United States posted Thu February 16, 2006:
Just amazing! Where was this picture taken from?

Awesome shot...

Brill pic

A visitor from Mexico posted Mon January 23, 2006:
Super photo! From this angle it looks like it is a monument or somethin´. How did you get that close? T.B.

A visitor from Czech Republic posted Mon January 23, 2006:
Five stars! Great picture!!!

A visitor from Romania posted Tue January 10, 2006:
This shot deserves the 5 star rating because it captures the true queen of the sky at her best. The way its zoomed and focused the shot gives yo the impression that this aicraft is huge, which it is. Very nice work.

A visitor from Taiwan posted Mon January 9, 2006:
I love you SAM!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri January 6, 2006:
I love the close-up, it gives the photo an extra boost. Really well taken.

A visitor from Brazil posted Sun August 28, 2005:
WOW!!! I love this Airline!!

A visitor from United States posted Fri August 26, 2005:
The big United bird is a fraction of a second from freeing itself from the ground. Beautiful angle perfectly captured with a wide-angle lens.

A visitor from United States posted Thu August 25, 2005:
Best airline ever!

A visitor from Venezuela posted Thu August 25, 2005:
This is another of Sam Chui's wonderful pictures, I love all the shots of airplanes taking off or landing that he takes in LAX and now in SFO, check his other pictures, it's worth an hour of your time, trust me

A visitor from United States posted Thu August 25, 2005:
Dramatic capture of the true miracle of flight at the precise unstuck moment. You can virtually see the bird accelerating upwards into the sky where it wants to be and feel the power of its engines.

A visitor from United States posted Thu August 25, 2005:
Excellent job of capturing the motion of the aircraft. You can almost hear it!!

A visitor from Mexico posted Thu August 25, 2005:
Great shot, I just love it!! Congratulations!!

A visitor from United States posted Wed August 24, 2005:
Another awesome shot as usual

A visitor from Austria posted Wed August 24, 2005:

Fly Jumbo fly. Great shot!

A visitor from United States posted Wed August 24, 2005:
Simply stunning! i see them rotate at work everyday! this photo captures the beauty of the 744 perfectly!

A visitor from United States posted Wed August 24, 2005:
This picture reminds me of the nostalgic days of classic 747-100s. This angle used to be very popular with photographers.

A visitor from Portugal posted Wed August 24, 2005:
Awesome shot, it's shows the monstrous power of the machine.

A visitor from United States posted Wed August 24, 2005:
Hold on tight, Sam--don't want to get sucked into the number one engine!

A visitor from Poland posted Wed August 24, 2005:
It's great photo because it looks so dynamic and it shows the real magic of B744 ! I'm really enjoy it ...

A visitor from Canada posted Wed August 24, 2005:
This marvelous photo depicts the true glaring colors of the United Airlines livery. The mighty 747 together with the beautiful takeoff on a nice clear sunny day makes this photo remarkable!

A visitor from Germany posted Wed August 24, 2005:
Magical shot...Sam gets the best of it- as always! ;)

A visitor from Switzerland posted Wed August 24, 2005:
An incedible shot... Again :-)

A visitor from Germany posted Wed August 24, 2005:
WOW! amazing! the angle and the closeness are crazy! the wingtip must have gone right over the head... scary but awesome...

A visitor from Belgium posted Wed August 24, 2005:
"great shot!"

A visitor from Germany posted Wed August 24, 2005:
Picture captures the full motion of the aircraft while taking-off. There´s nothing else in it, which would move the focus away from the aircraft as the most important object in the picture, e.g. other objects, contrastful clouds, fences.
