Thank you to everyone that left feedback on the pictures.

In response to the all DNMC's, i feel this shot did infact meet the challenge perfectly (pawdrix, i wish i thought of your idea before i posted it). I feel that a portrait can be of any subject, therefore this plane was a valid subject, and its environment, the lonley atmosphere.

Cool shot and I love teh contrast of the jetwash on the black sky. However, I don't feel this meets the challenge discription of a portrait.

I'm sure you've heard it all before....?

I think this shot of a Pilot flying his plane meets the Challenge dead on despite all the DNMC's you are getting. The expression on his face is priceless...one of humor, contol and total confidence. I would feel completely safe flying with him behind the controls. Good Luck, 10.

good shot, but not exactly a portrait...

I like the minimalism and the negative space. But where's the portrait?

Well done, pleasant to look at, original... Would be close to 10 from me, were I be able to find something in the picture related to the challenge.

A cool shot, but in my mind this doesn't meet the challenge. Edit - my bad. Apparently the challenge is anything in an environment. I'll adjust accordingly. (Last one was a person specifically.)

How did you get a perfectly black background on this? If it were night, then we wouldn't see the airplane.

I love this picture, but would have liked to see it with a closer crop maybe. Good job though!

Nice take on the challenge. I would have liked it even better if the plane were further away from the center of the pic.

Potrait?

According to Merriam-Webster, a portrait is: a pictorial representation of a person usually showing the face
I can see this definition possibly being stretched to include animals...but not airplanes. This is a nice photo, but it doesn't fit the challenge at all.

Cool...no other distractions in this shot makes it powerful...love the black backround

Unless I'm wrong a portrait is of something living, a person or pet

Cool shot! But DNMC.

I am not sure how this fits the challenge at all. The intent of a portrait, usually, is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. In an environmental portrait, the environment should help define the placement/occupation/status of the subject.

Neat shot but I don't get how it's an environmental portrait. How did you get the black sky? Great composition.

I don't see how this fits within the contest
