Congrats on the PostLumie. Disappointing finish for you, I'm sure, but perhaps that will help :-) I was one of your 9's, absolutely outstanding capture.

I like the overall effect you were going here with the backlighting and high contrast. The defined shadows and clear reflection were nicely captured. As a suggestion, framing may have been better if you included the person to the right more in the photo, perhaps side profile, keeping the glass and that person as the main focus, might result in a more striking composition. very nicely done.

PostLuminous Award WINNER!
Fantastic image! Brilliant, luminous, dimensional, and vast sky, with appropriate scale given to the aircraft to heighten the sense of vastness.

This is very nicely done, Alan. There's a hint of murkiness in the toning of the panels on the left element, otherwise it seems spot-on to me.
