Nose Cone
As we zoom in on the nose cone and use our imaginations, we can see a nose (the cone), eyes (the lights), and even a mouth (the grill). We know that Japanese car designers have been known to use living creatures for inspiration. Did the designers of this small plane do the same?

If you look closely at this image, you can see some dirt and grime on the cowl. Removing it would have been relatively quick work in Photoshop, but I chose to keep the original visage of the craft, feeling that the verisimilitude led credibility to this almost whimsical photo. And yes, I had to look up the spelling of "verisimilitude".
