| Wonderful shot. I wish I could have been there to feel the rumble of that radial engine. |

| i agree the horizon, and yeah i guess someone might have a problem with the prop being motion blurred, maybe it just isnt what they wanted. i think its an awesome photo and i know what the 1,2,3 stuff can feel like. thats just a natural averaging going on |

Just read your post, thought I'd pass along what I see about this. And about the 1 and the few 2's you got, unless its really a spot on image, you are going to have a few of those no matter what it is. The biggest thing wrong in my book is the horizon is off. Then second thing that I don't really care for is the framing. I'd have put a little more space on the left side to give the plane somewhere to travel to. The sky would've enhanced the picture if you could've found a few clouds. As it is it seems really flat, which is a big negative side to sepia toned pictures. Clouds would've helped, IMO
Overall I think you got a pretty fair score. Its not a bad shot, however I think that there are 2 very controllable factors that would've improved the shot. The sky issue is out of your hands. Good luck :)
edit: Bye correcting the horizon you would also make the plane seem like it was going a little more up than it is, as it appears in the photo it seems to be going straight left

In response to your forum request...
I didn't vote on this at all, so didn't vote it a 1, but I would have scored it down because the plane blends into the background very well. I might have wanted to see a bit more separation between the plane and the bushes/trees behind it. The sepia looks awesome, but also amplifies the lack of contrast there. Great shot compositionally though. Nice work. |

| Your choice of sepia tone is perfect. Great motion on the props and stop-action on the landing gear. (I certainly hope he's taking off and not landing...) A great capture! Congratulations on your sale! |

Nice.
A couple of things to pick at- the border doesn't seem to match much, I think it would look better plain black. A little bit of the ol contrast could help this as well, to make it really 'pop'
Otherwise, good work. 8 |

| Nice clean image. I like the brown, gives it that 1945 feel. Good luck |

| Not really keen on the choice of red for the border, but the colour of the rest of the photo is suitably nostalgic. |

| Love the way you caught the gear going up. The blur on the prop is really cool too. Great use of sepia. 9 |

| I just hope he is takeoff and not landing. Looks like a Texas Navy Reserve bird. But then seeing it is Navy, he could very well be landing. From an old Air Force pilot. Nice photo |

| Neat how the B&W makes the photo appear vintage. I'd try to adjust the tone to make it stronger, though... |

| Cool. Would be even better to me, if the plane was a little higher. Just above the bushes & whatnot. |

| Minor Comment. i think a white border would have given it a more authentic feel. Basicly I don't like the border........... I know it's minor. GREAT SHOT. 10 |
