Critique Club review:

Hi David,

I was out all last week, so I didn't have a chance to vote on vehicles, so I at least have yours.

First, no doubt your shot meets the challenge well.

Your shinny plane is cropped perfectly. The eye is led nicely to the engine (subject) with very little distraction. Your dof and sharpness are very good, and fit the shot. The shinny chrome reflections are really nice, no reflection distractions to move the eye off the subject. I really like the modifiers and there locations, i.e. the window, exhast, and round antenna?. They give an opportunity to really study the plane. If you used flash, you did it well. If not, you didn't need it. So light was done quite nicely.

Overall, you diserved the high score you received and you should be proud of this wonderful image. I hope this slap on the back doesn't hurt.

Have a Great 2004 and looking forward to more great shots.

Van

Good use of a familiar symbol; good lighting, exposure, and color scheme. It's a little odd having the quotation on the monument readable, since it's different from your caption. In this one case, I might have considered blurring the type on the monument slightly.

Interresting view. To put the focus on this part of the plane is a nice idea. -8-
