Greetings from the Critique Club!
Hi Patsy!
As this image is your highest rated yet, I find it almost amusing to try and tell you how to improve it. Instead, I'll focus on what I see and don't see.
What I see is that it looks like you used a gradiant fill from top right to bottom left. While these are nice effects and I use them as well, the black doesn't fit and the lines it creates in an image like this are distracting. You could have cleaned them up with a healing brush, though admittedly that's more work.
I also see a stunning shot with 3/4 of an inch off both the top and right margins. These areas aren't adding anything to the photo - get rid of them and make the subject larger as a portion of the image.
I don't see a pilot looking into the sun. I don't see the wing. And I don't see anything on the right side of the image to balance this composition except the streak in the upper right.
This is a wonderful image and congrats on your best yet score! Keep shooting and good luck!

| There's really nothing to say about this except "well done." Especially if you were driving the other plane... 10 |

| You had the right idea here. Nice skly colors and a good subject matter for a silhouette. I change of position / perspective could have made this a spectacular shot.... by virtue of having included the rest of the plane wings and form |

| To me the colors of the sky have been way over edited. |
