I thought I would make more of an art image than plain old airplane shot. Not really sure it is art, but it is a bit different. Extracted the subject, placed some textures behind it, one layer was a photo of clouds. Added some grain and a copper tint.

Enjoying this image immensely! Love the simplicity and symmetry of a complex machine. But what made me really linger here and want to respond is the unique display of a power. Its like seeing a titan down on the ground, playing with children--approachable altho' mighty. I'm probably not making sense. Many shots of airplanes but not like this one.

Really pretty.

I like it a LOT!

Not the usual, so MIGHT be art. Great technique, so that's a plus. Beautiful values, so at least Decorative or Popular Art. Makes a strong statement that goes beyond the object itself, "power," as one responder put it—in the reals of Art. I'm only one, but as a juror of art and photo shows, I'd certainly consider this.

I like this type of work. To me it is outstanding in its simplicity. I have seen a similar piece framed and in a mall for sale many years ago.

Thanks. I judge some art and photo shows myself, but I have found evaluating my own work is useless. I am often ambivalent some images that I find judges love and, of course, the opposite.

Nice enough to frame or Metal Print I think. Bob

Metal print is what I was thinking as well.

I love it
I would crop the top down just a bit, print it BIG and hang it over a long couch in a lobby at an airport or some such!

Interesting you would say that. I cropped a bit off the top, made it 1:2 ratio and printed it as a 9x18 on metallic paper and it is gorgeous. I may now go to a real metal print even larger. That bit of a crop was a small amount but made a big improvement in the overall look.

I'm one of those flower, bird, wildlife, still life, landscape people but do like an outstanding boat, train or plane shot and this is outstanding in MHO.
I don't think I'd crop at all for a metal print. I think the space adds balance to show the beauty of simplicity. Would not change anything! Again...just MHO.

Ya dun good. Very nice composite. Perhaps you could have stretched out the clouds in the background into more of a streak rather than have them clustered about the plane.
