This was shot in Mallorca this year, I was laying down on the beach when the sea plane was approaching. As I turned to take the shot the rest just fell into place. The decisive moment.

I think the airplane is a Canadair fire-fighting airplane coming to fill sea water to drop at a fire nearby.
I agree there is lots going on and it is nicely presented in black and white.
I think that in a time fraction of 1/60 later the figure of the airplane would have looked more clearly on the blue sky background , rather than on the cloud as it is now. If my suspicion is correct this is a yellow painted plain with some red areas and it would be clearly visible in the colour version despite the cloud.
C'est la vie.
The award is worthy though.
The strangeness of the frozen moment. Fabulous image, I covet this.
