Interesting composition and concept. I think it would be more effective with greater DOF; the out of focus shapes in the foreground are especially distracting.

I'm looking at this and trying to come up with something to say. I kind of like it, but I'm not sure. I mean, it's hard to settle in with it. Not sure where the point of focus or interest is. Without seeing other arrangements it's hard to say if another composition may have worked better. Sorry. Nothing over the top positive to say, yet nothing I can mention in a constructive criticism either. :( The exposure and lighting is fine. How about that? :D Good luck in the challenge.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Hi Richard,

Looking through your comments it seems a few too many voters know their aircraft better than you or I. I don't think you were too badly marked down for it as the score seems adequate. Still, it couldn't have been nice getting so many 'negative' comments through the voting.

I'm going to go with the comment from Cheerz below. This is a difficult attempt, and not one I would have tried. There are far too many simply awesome professional pictures of fighter aircraft, usually taken from another plane; so the standard is high.

On the whole, given that you were at sea-level and not able to influence your subject with regard to the light, I think this shot has turned out well. There is enough light on the plane to show the detail. A bit of USM could have brought this out some more and given it a bit of depth.

I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!

Cheers
Paul

Nice view. The image seems flat. Lacking contrast that would make it more powerful.
