Old Prop

Thanks for looking - any input greatly appreciated!

Good composition and I like the grain effect although your neg does seem to be a little dusty.

 

I think I would like it a little better if you could have held the depth of field so that the entire Cornell prop is in focus but the Harvard in the background is still blurry.

Wow! A fellow aviation enthusiast, I see - not many people can name the plane, much less the prop! I really appreciate your suggestion, its a very good point - if I get to re-shoot it, I will definitely play around with that idea. They were putting the airplanes away, and I was shooting hand held, with yellow filter to get a little bit more out of what was a very "blah" sky, in quickly dimming light. I just grabbed the shot and frankly, didn't put enough thought into it besides getting the framing the way I wanted. Another keeper of an idea from you! I really, really appreciate you taking the time to give me these suggestions - I am sure my photos will bemuch better for them! And you are right, I have been having some dust-control problems in my "convertible" dark room. I have since taken to wiping every visible surface with a damp cloth - it seems to have helped a bit. Thanks again!
