even though this image is ok it makes a really bad choice for free study, this is the challenge where people are voted down for lack of creativity, and this image lacks all creativity, like a catalog picture.

and the dark edges probably from the high pass filter makes it even worse..

airplanes can be good subjects, but they look better from below or from same level, they usually look uninteresting from above, just like your image.

I'm not trying to be judgemental, but this image would have scored much higher in B/W challenge.

just my 2¢

Reminds me of a catalog photo. This wouldn't hold my interest much except as an advertisment for a collectable. My husband's a big Nascar fan, me not so much. Technically for this type of image I don't think you're supposed to have shadows. The crop works well. Overall, a good commercial image.

I was one of the masses that gave this a 5. This is a tough one to critique (or maybe easy). The technical aspects of the shot seem to be fine. Good focus. The lighting is nice and the shadows underneath soft. But it doesnt really hold much interest to me. Straightforward shot of a model plane. I probably didn't spend much time looking at it while voting because it didn't have anything that screamed out at me "Look at me". The 1s,2s and 3s are a bit harsh I think because of the technical aspects being there, but the shot didn't leave me with any feeling or emotion. Just the fact that I looked at a model plane.

Nice clean shot with an effective use of white space around the plane with gradual graying as you move away from the plane. There is a minor bit of room reflection around the fusilage, but I can't tell whether it is the camera or something else in the room. Getting rid of all traces of room reflection is a bear of a problem...but worth trying hard for the sake of the image. I don't get the title...perhaps I am just dense.
Generally, this is a good clean shot.

I got to you before the voting was over! I still like it, and think that it is a nice shot. Maybe a hair over processed, but not terrible at thus resolution. Nice lighting, and I think that the square crop serves this one well.

I like how the light is brighter under the jet although the white background feels a bit dull.

Good job. Love the idea and the colors. The vine/wood piece seems slightly out of focus (unless it's my tired eyes that are not focusing). Other than that, I really like this photo and would have scored it a 6 or 7.

Fairly well photographed, but the subject just doesn't hold much interest for me.
