Oh, man. I'm a private pilot, so this image just gets me very excited. Looking at it as objectively as I can, I just ... really really like it. :) I'm a sucker for strong silhouettes, and the theme of a shared experience with your kids resonates too. Basically, I'm your prime audience for this shot.

Leah, since you asked for comments in your thread, I agree with the other folks who've commented since the challenge ended. I have the same camera, and I've also tried to use the super macro, but it's tough to get a really sharp image. Keep in mind that really good macro shots are razor sharp for the point of interest. Compare your shot to this, and I think you'll see how the lack of sharpness and angle hurt it (along with the blotchy background):


And compare the sharpness and framing to this one:
