 This is the "Wright Flyer", a project by Utah State University to recreate the Wright Plane using modern materials and technology. Lucky for me they had an exhibition on 4/26/03 just in time for the transportation challenge! I sent this photo to them and they want to use it on their website!

A classical photo! The way you treated the colors help give the picture an old fashion feeling. You were very lucky with the clouds they add a lot to the photo.

This is the kind of shot you would expect to have found 80 years ago. You have really brought out the old fashioned feeling here. Very good - 9.

Only tiny "faul"t is loss of a little cloud detail...

A step back into time! Amazin capture of vintage transportation (and it's moving too!). Wonder where you found the time travelling machine, I'll be looking forward to the story behind the photo. The clouds are also beautiful and I like how the fence stretches all across the land beneath. Top 5 for sure! - 8

Nice catch, I'm picking this one for the winner = )
Sepia does nicely to relate this to the 1903 flight.

That photo wasn't taken last week. It was in 1903, unless you have a time machine. :lol very effective use of Sepia. Jacko. 9

Sepia toning sets it off well.

Pedal power! Nice use of b&w. The clouds add a great element of interest, making it look like he/she's off into a windy patch. Nice work.

Nice composition - was this a reenactment? It looks like you planned the shot carefully.

I admit to having a soft spot for b&w/sepia toned photographs, but coupled with the old plane makes this really shine. The broody clouds also add a nice dramatic effect. I like the motion on the tail too.

I really like how the cables and wires and struts can be seen here so clearly. Nice choice to use the rule of thirds for this, adding a sense that the plane has space to go on the right. I like the clouds, too, though I wish there were just a little more contrast in them (personal taste on my part).

Hey. are you sure you took this during this last week? You didn't take this picture back in 1930 something? JK! Honestly, this picture is very good. I love you sepia tone and the clouds are gorgeous. your placement of the plane in the photo is perfect. I would have liked to have been a little closer to the plane IMO but I know how that is. Nicely done.
