This is a dynamic capture Scott, the plane almost looks like a cut-out. Very unique composition. Well done!

I didn't get a chance to see this one and must tell you that it's absolutely beautifully executed and your descriptions are very indepth. This should have scored much higher than it did. Keep up the good work!!!

I know you're allowed to darken a background by using the burn tool, which I have done on several occasions. It removes subtle lights/colors in the background almost entirely and evidently that's ok. What you did was to create light areas in the background that didn't exist in the original. It was a good idea but evidently not acceptable. Next time, use a sky/cloud backdrop, I've seen these things in the craft stores.

I like what you did though, it's very original. Keep up the good work!
