Resubmitting a photo after learning some new editing skills.

My goal was to give it some pop against the hazy sky.

Thanks -ge

Wee Willie II take-off framed by the Chino Hills

no doubt, one of the most famous old cars around...

beautiful contrast and a great sky.

what a great example of the defining moment...

(crazy photographers)

I like the composition. I like how the sand and sky almost blend together on the horizon and the sunbeams are drawing the subject onward.

one criticism- the dark cloud in the forground is ominous. (perhaps your intent) -ge

I really like your sky. To me it makes the photo. ...great idea to colorize the right side aircraft. It makes your eyes keep switching back and forth.

 

I might suggest to burn-in the background beneath the aircraft on the left side.

 

There is a yellow An-2 that lives near me, it's one of my favorite a/c.

 

 

It's a beautiful scene.

The gas can is an interesting element. It seems to be in better condition as if someone was thinking, gas and tires and some elbow grease, and we'll have her back on the road...

 

then thought better of that idea

 

 

I suggest shooting from a higher angle, more of the top, less of the under carriage. Shoot at a more acute angle, but not straight on. Don't try to make your sign the main element. Just embed text in the photo of who you are. With a clean and shiny car, shoot on a clear day exactly at sunset or after the sun has set to get interesting reflections. Not critique, just ideas you could try.
