A Royal Enfield? or a BSA C15 perhaps? Very nice image, regardless of the motorbike interest. 8.

"Great Job" from the "Great Job Baggie"! I originally gave you an 8 on this one, but after second glance, I see qualities that make it even more worthy. First off, the subject matter is very original and different. Not that there aren't other aircraft shots out there in this challenge, but that your aircraft is not a modern one. The colors in this shot are super, especially the yellows. The darker blue body of the aircraft against the blue sky tends to blend in, making the bright colors seem even brighter. The smoke trail really lends a bit of interest to this photo.

The ONLY thing that is distracting to me is the wing in the foreground. It just seems a little blotchy. The other wing does not have that problem, so age of the aircraft is probably not the cause of that blotchiness.

Anyway, GO NAVY! Upped you to a '9'....

It's always fun to see them together like this, the old and new. Nice, tight capture, looks good - could make a good print from this.
