Pretty nice pic! although it is not a clean shot (only by the railings and the surrounding public) you achieve managed the scene to capture the protagonism and essence of the aircraft displayed...(I really like it a lot) looks like "a captive dragon showing its teeth and opening its wings to intimidate us!" this is a photo very well achieved within the context of an exhibition beyond that people take away some magic, the framing and the technique is excellent! especially considering that it was taken with a bridge camera ( I at first by the result I thought it was a DSLR - then I saw that camera you had -) very cute baby indeed...I also recently bought me a bridge too (Nikon B700) I'm still learning all your secrets.
