From the "Photographer's Comments": "I worried people would see it as more "graphic design" than digital photography ..."
This challenge was a prime candidate for heavy graphic design type entries IMO, and you hit it right on the money. Congrats!

Great job and congrats on the Red, especially under the shooting conditions you describe. How you were able to take the raw image and create the final product is quite outstanding.

I'm far from an authority on this myself, but from what I understand, the Stearman wasn't a front-line service plane so much as a support plane used stateside for training and transporting personnel. Apparently it was one of the easier models for rookies to learn to pilot before having to take the helm of something more combat-ready? (How I wish my grandpa was still alive to tell me stories.)
