yeah scroggs,
I think the point you make about the high power zoom lens foreshortening the photo is a good one. I never thought of that.
I know that it was a tough approach and that there are always things that one may be unaware of without actually being there.
Can you imagine being a passenger?
Can you imagine the CC's announcement as they taxied (or walked) to the gate: "We hoped you enjoyed your flight and look forward to seeing you on another Malaysian scheduled service in the near future. Good Afternoon..."
