Very congrats, horse person. It is ALL about perspective. The word "humdinger" comes to mind. Love the clouds.

Congratulations on the blue ribbon!!! This is such a cool shot! I like the shiny belly of the plane!

I took a shot like this last year at Frankfurt airport - but with a fisheye which made the plane look so far away that all that roar that you should feel, looking at it, disappeared.

Your photo still has this feel of airplane sound, and the interesting tilt really makes this look like an acrobatic maneuver :)

Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are that this is an impressive shot that makes the plane look like it is upside down!?

Technically this is good. Composed well. Exposed well - you haven't killed it with post processing. I do find the skin of the plane to look a little glossy - maybe we don't clean our planes in NZ as much as you guys ;) There seems to be some noise visible in the engines - is this from some shadow/hilight processing perhaps or a topaz filter? The crop works well for the shot. The green circle is a bit of a shame but it seems you are off to address that :)

Artistically this has a "wow" factor that DPC likes but you know this because you won the blue with it. The sky is a bit full of clouds for my liking but that's a minor nitpick.

In summary a good shot for the challenge as the voters have already told you. The funny thing is that in a Free Study I'm not sure this would score much above a 6, it's just that it fits the challenge well so in context it rocks.

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.
