I didn't want to fill up our fine gallery thread with text posts - hence the new thread.
I felt a had to comment on this picture.
It is a fantastic picture but not a photograph.
The light is just not natural - you can not have so much light reflections and detail on the shadow side of the helicopter. Especially not when shooting straight into both the sun and the glare from the ocean.
The picture is in fact made by aviation artist Carlos Adrián Garcia.

"Celebrating their 25th anniversary, Helicópteros Marinos entrusted Mr. Carlos Garcia to illustrate their 2005 Calendar, which shows the various past and present aircraft, helicopters operated by this company of on and off shore air services from Argentina.
Please see Gallery, Digital Illustrations."
I don't mean to be grumpy - but in these days in can be hard to judge between real and fake - and I just needed to point out that it was too good to be true...
Just like;
