This plane is really funny, in some pictures it looks really ugly, while in others gorgeous. Like in this one. Can't wait to see the stretched version.

This photo has absolute perfect timing; what makes it so special is that there are no other clouds in view. Wonderful plane.

This is one of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen on a.net!!! Congratulations Europix!!!
Having tried to catch similar scenes, I have never had that kind of success.
What I like most is the clear scenery around the aircraft and the fine change from cloudy to sky-blue.
Moreover, the position of the airplane in the picture is really perfect.

That is stunning, this plane continues to amaze. At first I thought it was a painting, but that, is one superb photograph. Lots of detail, can even spot the rudder deflection for the turn.

Quite often I think to myself just what an amazing thing the internet is, that along with digital cameras. If I had took a shot like this one and was not able to share it with the world of airliner fans on this amazing site, then I would be crying into my cup of tea for a long time. Thanks for posting this pic for us all to go woooow over! I can't add anything else as other posted comments have said it for me, apart from the 'ugly' one.....he needs to go to SpecSavers. Thankyou.

Another five star shot! On the ground, the initial (and even back in the A3xx days)this looked like the ugliest peice of metal imagionable.

Now, these shots of it in airline livery and actually flying make it truely look awsome.

Excellent shot and beautiful aircraft. I'm very excited because Airbus Industrie is going to make the first A380 flight to America, and the best part is that is not gonna be to USA or Canada, it's going to be to Rionegro, Colombia this January 8th, I'm very happy for this incredible success, the only thing is that I don't think I can catch it because I live on Bogota; There is a little possibility that them bring it to Bogota. They decide to do it there because is the perfect airport to do the tests on high altitude countries such as Colombia, and this airport is not such busy and have a very large runway.
¡Congratulations! Colombia

I would reserve the word ugly for the Guppy planes...the word beautiful for planes like the stretched 757 or the XB-70. The Airbus 380 deserves the word dramatic, expecially in extreme telephoto or super wide angle photos...or this pic. Congratulations to the photographer with the quick pix finger.

This one should be on the Airbus web site and on other advertisements/PR campaigns. The uber jumbo looks like a majestic bird of paradise in this photo which in my opinion rates 6 stars for the clarity, crispness with just the right amount of cloud to make her look like a feat of magic. In this picture she doesn't look like a Baluga whale with wings!

This is one of the ugliest ever planes made! Therein lies it's beauty! My ticket is already booked on an Emirates A380 (maybe even this one) from Dubai to Auckland next month. I'm so looking forward to it. Still an ugly plane neverless, but an engineering marvel. I actually planned my itinerary to be on an A380.

Not only breaking out of the cloud, but doing so in a downward attitude to accentuate the plane. And, to beat the band, on a perfect blue-sky day. Thanks!
