Wow, that is pretty sweet. Love the diagonal and the framing and the head angle and most of all, the sweet light. You might see how it looks with the yellows de-SATed 5-10 points.

[Sid Garige]

Very very nice image. Like the diagonal and complementing background. Agree with Artie on yellows.

[Ramon M. Casares]

With that clean BG I would try to add a bit more room on top and bottom, other than that and the yellows that Arthur has allready commet about, this is a TERRIFIC shot!

Very good composition,exposure and light. Looks like a transport aircraft with the huge wingspan.
