Greetings from the Critique Club.
Ah, we meet again :)
As can be pieced together from the comments and score: good image, but a lot of people didn't feel it met the challenge. Yes, there is an engine spinning, but it's small and dark, and you can't really see the spin.
Technical stuff:
I think the image is very well composed. All the important lines seem to be just off the mystical thirds, and the right wing nicely leads your eye in towards the rest of the image. The gentle blue and orange nicely complement each other, and their relative quantity seems nicely balanced.
Interesting POV, I like the off-center subject, the fact that the plane is angled, and the trace of the tail at the bottom (rounds the image off nicely). I think the close-up works well.
As has been commented on, bits of the image seem oversharpened - it's something to watch out for. Also, there are bits of distracting glare shining off the airplane - I wonder if a polarizing filter might have helped?
Anyway. Good image - sorry it didn't score higher. I'm sure your score prediction would have been accurate for a different challenge theme.
PM me if you have any questions.

| I thought I would let you know that I was also in the lower ranges in the beginning of the challenge, but much to my surprise I did end up, as did you, with an above 5 score. Anyway, I see the colors of this image and that is the first thing I notice. You created a warm image of something very hard and solid, creating a different kind of beauty. I saw your post on your comments, and I know you are used to high scores, but it still was respectable. Anyway, I liked it but I think, as I see with mine, that it missed the mark regarding spinning. Perhaps mine would have done really well in creepy, freaky friday, or Halloween. It was a bit off beat. |

| Beautifully lit, good clarity, and I like the bright lights above the wheels. My only criticism (a minor quibble) is thematic in that the spinning (presumably the jet engine) must be assumed since it isn't visible. |

| Is it the engine on the side that's meant to be spinning? |

| I like the overall image but it's a little bit of a stretch for the spinning engine to be thought of as the main subject. |

Nice take on the challenge theme, however with the turbofan of this engine being too dark and a bit small, this image doesn't really say spinning to me at all.
Also, be careful of your sharpening. There are jaggies all over the place from too much of it. |
