Nice framing, .. the clouds have some good texture and color.. the plane could be a bit sharper.

Beautiful colours

Well, they are called birds by some. A bit noisy and overexposed highlights.

pretty cool. Love the clouds and the pov. Works with a center composition. A little oversharpened. Good luck in the challenge! 6

In my opinion, this doesn't meet the spirit of the challenge. Brilliant photo though.

nice sky colors and composition, i like the sihlouette shape of the plane. you'll prob be getting hammered by the voters for it not being a real bird but nice photo nontheless.

I like the idea, however this shot seems to have a lot of noise. Noise does not seem to work for this shot.

I really tried to see "bird" when I look at this photo (Which is very nice!!!) but everyone I ask "what is this?" says "It's a plane."

Way too centered. The rule of thirds would have worked better here.

Thinking outside of the box. Cool but your score is gonna suffer.

You must have been thinking outside of the box on this from the caption. Actually I gave you some credit for not interpreting the challange like the other 200+ people.

The image is excellent IMO, but I truely would not consider that to be a bird.
So you are comlpetely not answering the chalenge.
i give you a 6 for a real good photo though. Good luck!

Beautiful shot. Hope you don't get marked down for thinking outside the square. I had a similar idea with the "Tacks" challenge. Good luck.

I looked very hard, but I didn't find a real bird, so I assume that the plane is the "bird"
the image is overexposed, colors are weird, oversharpened, composition is to centered, the only good thing is that the plane isn't horizontal. sorry for the harsh comment, but it's just my opinion.

Good to see one person had the idea I had about 'birds' being 'planes'. Unfortunately I didn't find a good 'plane' photo to submit. Bravo to you!

I never give out 1 unless I explain why. First of all, this is way off topic and I have never given a shot I percieve to be off topic a higher grade than 4. secondly this isn´t anything spectacular, it´s just a so so shot of a silhouette of an airplane. The sky isn´t very interesting, the composition is dead centered and well frankly if this were an airplane challenge I would have given it a 3 or a 4. I just don´t find this interesting at all.

Sorry for the rant, but I figured you deserved an explanation as to why I gave it a 1.

Nice idea. Seems over processed. The clouds are very pretty.
