Wonderfully composed and processed. I love the positioning of the jet and it's contrails coming into the frame. The black silhouette is perfect for this.

Honestly, the 'Silence' connection on this for me was there, but thin...I've never been on a jet that was quiet. Maybe an air glider? :-)

As for the 'Photographers Comments'...thanks for sharing. It is a beautifully written tribute to your father.

... I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air." I like how you captured the feeling!

good: nice dramatic clouds and feel. interesting perspective. nice border and clarity to whole image. the colors are great too.

bad: the contrast is a tad strong for me. and overall image is a bit dark. that's about it.

makes me sort of dizzy, colorful, I can't decide if I like the blur or not.

Sorry to hear. How sad. Soft focus is very intruiging.

Nice shot of this jetliner streaking through some impressive looking clouds. Jetliners are pretty noisy though aren't they? But I do get the feeling of silence that you are trying to convey here. The way one sees the jetliner high above in the silent sky and then sometimes very faintly you can hear the sound of the jet long after it has disappeared from sight. 5
