The reflection of the woman in the back adds a nice touch to this.

Oh! I love the star rays in the sun and the silhouette with long shadows effect provides lots of drama to an otherwise ordinary task of boarding a plane. The dramatic effect lends an excitement to the adventure ahead for this gentleman and his two sons. My only nattering naybob nitpick is the crop. Perhaps, cropping out part of the left side of the photo would strengthen the story and the angle of the plane wing to lend the photo a bit more depth of interest. As always, Mark, your photography is superb!

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: Very mysterious (that comment was typed by my 8 year old while I was making tea and I couldn't have put it better myself). Though I will add 'Wow!' look at the distant reflection - fantastic. The lighting here is sensational - as shot or augmented with something like Viveza or Sliver Efex Pro using control points? I'm a fan of the deep piano shadow too.

Critical stuff: Nothing at all.

Overall: Artistically and technically, a very impressive image.
