I'm at a little bit at a loss here. I don't know which two to enter. This months camera club outing was to the San Diego Air and Space Museum with the monthly photo challenge subject being aircraft details. Everyone can enter two photos. Club members vote for their two favorite photos. What's on the line you ask. A very polite golf clap from club members and the satisfaction of knowing you had a photo that your fellow photographers really liked.

I like the longer cylinder head and the cockpit. The first has additional interest in the repetition and the angled viewpoint. My photo club did a similar thing at a Pick-A-Part wreckers.

Agree - if you can retake the cockpit, my instinct is that a lower angle straight on shot might be a killer. Good Luck!

None are in my style. I tend to shoot more abstract engine images of say Race cars. Really up-close or isolated shots where the uninitiated would probably have no idea what they are looking at. Example: A Titanium Clutch Plate from a Top-Fuel (Nitromethane) Dragster. Actually from Anton Brown's car of Don Schumacher Racing. Photographed against a black background so it looks a bit "alien".
But for your more literal images those two and the one with the Valve Springs, Valves, and Head is nice two.

#1 is your strongest image. I would do a tight crop from the circular prop mounting to the left of the exhaust manifold.

Cylinder head. Nice composition. With the cockpit, I think you’re trying to show too much so there’s no specific point of interest. For example, of all the gages you see, which one or ones tell a better story of the larger whole?
