I really like the setup as it gives such a murky feel. Nice.

The title a little too black and white, the image outstanding..

Would I hang this on my wall. Perhaps, I like the composition. I judge on what I would hang in my apartment. I would like to see this smaller and in a "large" frame. Just like good art should be. I give you positive 7

The underground where the vase is on looks like a stream of paint. Too bad about the "artefacts" created by the processing. I always hate when that happens and you can't get rid of it.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are that the detail here is great. The B&W has great tones.

Technically this is good. It is composed nicely and the B&W conversion is first rate. The background is a bit distracting - some blurring in PP may have softened it a little. Given this is inside I doubt you could do much about the lighting but there are some hotspots that stand out.

Artistically this is ok. This is a study of an old plane rather than an artistic shot of the plane. An airman standing in front of the plane would have made all the difference.

In summary this is a good shot that probably deserved a little more scorewise.

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.

I like the way the tonemapped treatement works as a b/w on this, plus the Skyraider is just a great subject.
