The Roasterie coffee house and it's iconic DC-3 plane that sits atop the building. As I keep advancing in my photography skills, I have to be reminded to walk around my subject matter and to sometimes get high or lower as well. My other images of this area are typically done with a tight crop of the plane. I rather like this view. What do you all think?
