Hi Daniel, nice light and interesting patterns. The image could use some CCW rotation since it's tilting way right.
I also feel you have more sky then needed since there isn't much interest there. IMO I would like to see more plane or none at all. Looks like you saw a number of potential comps on the ground...

Dave nailed it. My thoughts exactly.

Hey Daniel,
You must have a blast flying and photgraphing! Agree with above suggestion but I don't need that much more plane. You wil lose some more with the rotation but I'd imagine getting a straight horizon while flying.....isn't as easy as it is on the ground! I really like the patterns in the ground......worth exploring this a bunch of times in the future!

Thank you all for the comments. The photo was taken while holding the camera outside of the plane in the slipstream @ 90mph. Not much time for composition. Try this while driving on the interstate for an example of the challenges it represents, and don't drop the camera!
