I too like what you did with the sky here. Nice and moody. This is one of mine (but not so close in):

The obvious, brief-glance comment would be to moan about he centred composition ... but of course this is not centred. The cleanliness of the aircraft, and the dissipation of the contrail into a murky brown that speaks of pollution, especially against the deepest blue suffusion of the sky brings the political to this image; some suggestion of the battle of the giant airlines against the perception of their trade as damaging to our world - everything must be shiny bright, but leaves a trail of waste and poisons. The bluntness of the placing of the plane in frame adds to this effect beautifully, disrupting that almost complete darkness. 9

NIce shot, I have one alot like this. I like what you've done with the very very dark sky. Makes it alot more contrasty. Good job...

Nice idea, composition and execution.

I would have cropped it at the nose of the plane. Left part of the picture seems somewhat disfunctional now. Good go though. 7

Simple photo but not so simple to take and render. I like the nearly black sky and the high contrast with the subject. The sky especially is exceptionally and I like the way it gradients from midnight blue to black at the edges. Maybe it's just my monitor but it's very subtle. Among my top pics. Hope it does well.
