Greetings from the Critique Club!
Wow! I love this shot! It takes me back to when I used to fly with my dad in his Eurocoup! That was so much fun! And to capture it as it was taking off. The motion blur is wonderful on the houses while the plane is so clear. Well done.
The first thing I noticed though was the pinkish/orange tint on the wings of the plane. Now reading the title that explains to me why they are like that but for some reason it doesn't quite fit with the rest of the shot. Maybe if you were behind the plane and one could see the sunset in the background but then you lose the motion blur on the houses. Sadly a lot of people put points towards the title as well and that might be part of what happened.
Secondly, I'm sure you got a few DNMC votes as well. If you were taking the shot from inside the plane or even from behind it again, giving one more the idea of taking off and the vision ahead.
I wonder how much you brightened this if you did because again, the glow of the sunset just doesn't seem to mesh with the light in the background, I can't quite explain why but it doesn't. Being a basic challenge you could take the hue/saturation and desat the yellow and red just a bit to tone down the color on the wings and then bump the contrast just a touch, a tiny touch. Maybe then it will seem more natural.
But I do like it, it does remind of one of the few good memories I do have with my dad, thank you for that.
I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!
