Great potential, way over sharpened for my taste but it makes a very cool effect! Good composition! |

The high contrast and nise in this really hurts this overall. The halo around the prop & wing is distracting - perhaps a bit too much shadow/highlight adjustments? Maybe as it is, would have been better in black & white, as the grain(noise) works better in that medium than in color. |

it's really hard to bond with this photograph. the level of over-sharpening, the unattractively grainy noise and the halo effect around everything really puts you off a bit. it's a pity as i would imagine that without the sharpening (if it's blurry, make it more so as a style statment!) the chrome props would be probably be super smooth and lovely (especially with the glare spot from the sun). there is also a lack of context; it's like just photographing a nose in a portrait. i want to know what sort of plane it is, what sort of character it has, how it might have lived, how old is it really, is it civil or military?? it's impossible to tell anything about this from this sort of crop, and i don't think it's arty enough to be considered abstract. sorry.
edit just to add the thumbnail actually looked gorgeously slick, shiny and smooth - if you managed to maintain the appearance of the thumbnail, i think the composition issues i had would be less of an issue because overall this would have been more appealing and more successful.

A great subject, and a good composition. Looks very grainy or something though. Don't know if it is intentional, but just doesn't seem to be working. Comes across looking either overprocessed, oversharpened or possibly over aggressive cropping. |

This looks a bit oversharpened, and could benefit from Neat Image for the grain (unless you were going for the grainy look, to make the photo seem older, in which case I would recommend slightly heavier and monochromatic grain.) |

i really love this shot. it caught my eye in the voting gallery. it seems to have a lot of noise in it (which may be inentional). great color. |

Very shiny! It does however not look sharp and the colours look all wrong. |

Fantastic composition but the image quality is suffering quite a bit - I wonder if it's from compression when you uploaded? The sunshine on the propeller is a nice touch. |

I like the angle you chose for this shot, and the reflections off the propeller blades. There does seem to be a bit of color noise/grain and a bit of haloing. |

Very noisy and pixelated. Looks over-sharpened and has too much cyan |

Great idea and composition. Just a little bit too grainy. |

a lovely image, but the low resolution really brings your score down. |

Once explained the effect makes a lot of sense (and is very affective) bump (6) |

a bit too much post-processing for me, the colors seem very off.. |

Great effect , great crop but I feel that grain in the shot works against it, people are used to seeing chrome as very clean and reflective. |

Wonderful reflection. Interesting take on the subject. The haloing distracts. |

overprocessed to the max...it might have been a better shot without all of the sharpening |
