Unique shot of one of the greatest planes that ever flew, the SR-71. Bet this was at the new Smithsonian museum at Dulles. This is a very, very good B&W. Should finish high.

I think its SR-71, but titles aside, I really like this shot - Is this a model against a backdrop? If so, it really does look realistic. One of my favorites so far.

Your point of view and framing really bring out the sleek design of this aircraft. I like the tones here.

Isn't the Blackbird the SR-71? No matter...great shot!

Good think I looked it up before commenting. I was going to say that the plane is an SR-71 but just learned that there is in fact an M-21. Anyway, I like the POV, however, I would have tried to include the entire engine since that is where the magnificence of the blackbird lies.

wow, very well done, it's quite dramatic and gives a good taste of the aerodynamica. How did you get so close to this plane, is that easy?

Nice image. Too bad the cockpit isn't lit too well. I think it will score well.

This is very cool, the composition is perfect and I really like the black and white treatment. The back of the plane seems a bit bright and the left part of the from seems a touch dark, but it's still one of the better entries this week. 8

Interesting angle on the plane. The open area on the right is kind of distracting and unfortunately the shadow over the left side of the cockpit distracts also. Maybe getting a direct head on shot and trying to eliminate the shadow would make this stand out more.

Real or Model hmmm hard to tell. I really like this photo. The composition is great I like how its lit and I would have known what it was even if there was no title. What don't I like about it, only that's its going to beat my shot. Great Job.

I don't know if it is the lighting, or the surface of the aircraft -- but something seems odd to me here... Great subject though.

This is a fantastic subject for the challenge. However, the result is rather bland. It reveals little of the sinister nature or engineering beauty of this plane. Whilst the photo suggests a creative approach, I am left rather unmoved. perhaps a closer approach would have worked better for me or the entire subject in silhoutte - not sure.

Good angle of shot. it would have been very easy to make this boring but your composition and lighting has really made it stand out.
Great work...9

very flat, with lots of grey. rather constrictive cropping.
