The desaturation of the colors really makes the boy stand out. Nice composition and use of negative space.

I like the composition of this image, particularly the juxtoposition of the plane trail in the sky behind the grounded plane. Use of light is great, diffuses through the flag nicely adding a great bright bit of color. Nice focus. The plane does seem to hover between a bit too dark and just right, but I don't think its a huge issue. 7

i MUST ADMIT EVERYTHING CAME TOGETHER FOR THIS SHOT. THE STREAK FROM THE PLANE IN THE SKY. THE FLAG PEAKING THROUGH, THE WONDERFUL BLUE SKY. GREAT SHOT.

One of the better "plane" photos I've seen. I can't decide whether the flag is a nice touch or distracting, same as the contrail. I like the sun behind the nose. To me, this is a fun, colorful image. Well done.

I had pegged this shot as way higher than a 19th position :( Still, top 20 is nothing to spit on. Keep up the good work.
