Yes, it is always a good idea to go to work in depth around a subject, but I still don't feel very comfortable in 42nd street with all my photo equipment.

Glad you appreciated the picture.

Firstly, on the thumbnail I thought it was just a wall taken at one or two meters. Then, after looking at the middle sized picture, I understood this was ... much bigger !

I love this "texture". Nice contrast.

I think the composition works because the two birds look at the right direction. If the left bird had looked towards the left, the picture wouldn't have been interesting.

This said, if the right bird had looked at the left direction, I think it would have been even better ... But you hardly can control this !

By the way, the empty space at the top doesn't bother me.

Nice b&w tones.

Yes, this picture is beautiful in tones and composition.

Good vignetting on the left, leading the attention to the right. But I would have added a gradient darkening on the top of the picture.

I prefer this one compared to its color version.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

This is what I did for almost all my pictures (blended sky), and on this one for keeping a lighter plane on the blended dark sky.

I tried to do what you suggested, but the smoke is overexposed on the RAW itself.

Maybe recreating a fake wing by cloning. But I didn't want to go in this type of hassling work just for this picture. I have other pictures I prefer in my portfolio, so I left it as is.

Thanks for all your congratulations.

Here is a 100% zoom detail of the picture.

Is the picture sufficiently descriptive about a pilot that makeseverything he wants of his plane ?

What framing would I have to do otherwise ? (this was originally avertical shot)

Thanks for any critique.

Thanks for any critique.

Taken from a burst of ten pictures while this plane was flying on agrey awful sky. The thick haze helped to cut out much of the sun light.

Thanks for any comments.

Capturing movement is easier when the pilot uses smoke.

Do you think capturing "movement" is impossible without such smoke ?

Thanks for any critique.
