Great potential, way over sharpened for my taste but it makes a very cool effect! Good composition!

Looks over-sharpened.

Comment by Brad:
The high contrast and nise in this really hurts this overall. The halo around the prop & wing is distracting - perhaps a bit too much shadow/highlight adjustments? Maybe as it is, would have been better in black & white, as the grain(noise) works better in that medium than in color.

it's really hard to bond with this photograph. the level of over-sharpening, the unattractively grainy noise and the halo effect around everything really puts you off a bit. it's a pity as i would imagine that without the sharpening (if it's blurry, make it more so as a style statment!) the chrome props would be probably be super smooth and lovely (especially with the glare spot from the sun). there is also a lack of context; it's like just photographing a nose in a portrait. i want to know what sort of plane it is, what sort of character it has, how it might have lived, how old is it really, is it civil or military?? it's impossible to tell anything about this from this sort of crop, and i don't think it's arty enough to be considered abstract. sorry.

edit just to add the thumbnail actually looked gorgeously slick, shiny and smooth - if you managed to maintain the appearance of the thumbnail, i think the composition issues i had would be less of an issue because overall this would have been more appealing and more successful.
