We have a small Airport not too far from here...thought this was kinda cool.

Any thoughts?

    I love the light in this with the silhouted pines but because the plane is so small
    it doesnt add to the scene rather more of a distraction from the whole scene as it looks like
    a bug or something on the lens.

    Strictly speaking as a landscape or scenic shot I agree with Steve. Now, change your audience to Flying or Private Pilot magazine and you have a winner! Print that and hang it in the coffee shop at that nearby airport with a price and your phone number and you'd have some sales. Niche businesses have been built on just such a circumstance.

    Like the shot though, very good job with difficult lighting. Keeping plane sharp in low light left little margin for shutter speed selection.

    Thank you for posting up, Steve.

    It seems to be a like or don't like it and not much in between. To me...without the Plane...its just another landscape shot.

    Thanx for posting!

    Thats a great idea. I really need to start getting my work "out there". I'll have to look into it.

    And, thank you...thats a straight from the camera jpeg.
