Lovely series! Can I suggest you make photo 2 the main image as I think more people will view the close up. To change the order of the photos, click on edit, & then you can drag & drop the photos.

Thanks Emily! This is actually my first mid-flight photographs as I usually have trouble with those myself. I was pleased with these shots.
