This image was taken at the Airforce Museum near Dayton, Ohio. Surprisingly enough, this was taken INSIDE the museum. Editing includes Noiseware Pro to reduce Noise and Nik Software's new editing tool, "Silver Efex Pro" that's very cool. I'm pleased with the result, not expecting much of it though.

The plane is a fighter from I believe the Korean war, either way, it's been restored in this amazing museum. it's a must-see tourist attraction for Ohio visitors.

Thanks in advance!

Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are that the detail here is great. The B&W has great tones.

Technically this is good. It is composed nicely and the B&W conversion is first rate. The background is a bit distracting - some blurring in PP may have softened it a little. Given this is inside I doubt you could do much about the lighting but there are some hotspots that stand out.

Artistically this is ok. This is a study of an old plane rather than an artistic shot of the plane. An airman standing in front of the plane would have made all the difference.

In summary this is a good shot that probably deserved a little more scorewise.

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.

I like the way the tonemapped treatement works as a b/w on this, plus the Skyraider is just a great subject.
