Create The Ultimate Masterpiece! "Cockpit" Shots

[size=18][font=times]Halellujah...I finally get to sit down for a few hours and do one of the things I enjoy the most... So to celebrate my new found freedom here's a contest to really challenge your screenart skills...Let's see what we can do with pics dedicated to the cockpit. Freeware, payware, edits, everything goes here. Post 1 shot only, as a clickable thumbnail if you can, on this thread. Remember, the pic must focus on the aircrafts pilot and cockpit. Doesn't have to be inside the cockpit, but try to create a mood showing the "pilots perspective". We'll run the contest until Nov.30th and then set the entries to a poll. Winning entry will be posted in our Gallery. Good luck and hopefully we'll see a lot of unique and interesting entries.

before I forget... here is my go:

Image

that is not exactly from the pilot perspective but that is still a pilot perspective...  ::)
think it's still in the global idea.

well, that's the realair spit, over lyon bron in France, at dusk. I used irfanview to sharpen the pic, enhanced the color, saturation and contrast, then to resize it...
my first idea was also to crop it to highlight the pilot and the action, but I'm quite happy of the result as it is.

tell me what you think about it...

All right, here's my go.  I hope this complies with the rules of being from the pilot's perspective...it isn't really but neither is thebrelon's  :P ;).  Anyway, here goes.  It's a F1 pilot doing his pre-flight checks before an evening flight.  Let me know how to improve! 8)
