For Those Who Gave Their Lives For Our Freedom.

This is my first challenge I've entered! The memorial reads,

Windsor Memorial
To our glorious dead of the
Royal Canadian Air Force
Who represented this area in World War II

There used to be a Lancaster bomber here but it had to be taken down for repairs and was replaced by this Spitfire and Hurricane.

Thanks for the advice and encouragement guys! I feel okay with how I did for my first entry but I can definitely improve, thank you.

Cropping off the aircraft wings for me in this image makes it seem a little incomplete. The darkness of the underside of the wings also create large, black areas, whereas some fill light would have shown these with some detail which would have made this photo. Some additional foreground with the names on the wall, giving this more prominance, would have then made the names of the fallen the clear subject of the photo, and therefore made a stronger statement overall.
The title and phrase do tie in really well with the photo, and with the changes mentioned above, this could then have been one of my highest rated photos in the challenge

I like the idea but I don't like how the planes are cropped in half.

I like the sentiment, but I don't think this is something that would be found hanging on a corporate wall to motivate employees. The photo seems a bit odd as well, being cropped pretty tight and with that flagpole down the middle.

Maybe I am missing the point (sorry for being thick), but I find nothing here which would motivate me. I feel it could be a stronger composition in vertical format, showing only half of this image, with a wider angle.

Not keen on the flagpole running down the middle or that each aircraft has it's wings clipped.
