I like this picture but I wish the contrail behind the airplane was longer. I had a couple of other shots that had a longer trail, but my shutter was too slow. I was zoomed all the way out to 300mm and the lens shake was pretty pronounced. This was the best that I could do with the shots that came out.

Originally, this shot was a little over exposed but Lightroom was able to adjust the exposure enough to salvage it.
