Greetings from the Critique Club.

Hi SharQ

Let's get straight to business.. Does this meet the challenge? Yup, definitely. How often do you get to see people flying planes?

All the technical things you did here are superb, the fast shutter speed, the iso, and the aperture. I can't think of anything I would have done differently. It's a shame that we cannot control the actual circumstances when we take pictures. I think what would have helped get a better score, would be to have some clouds (lol), or something interesting, but not too distracting.

I like this picture, I gave it a very high score. Good luck in future challenges, I always enjoy your pictures.

Needs more contrast, perhaps a different sky color with a hue shift - the whole image has a rather blue cast to it.

Is this a model?..... should be better focused to enter in a contest, model or real......does not give me the feeling these people are at work but rather at play....

Great shot of the airplane! To me, this seems more like "play" than work as these aircraft were retired several decades ago. The people may be "working" in the sense of a flight demo or such....still it's hard to call this "at work" (don't worry, it's not a huge score effect). 8 Rob the Swash
