Title: Journey Home (not so sweet!), by BobsterLobster


Composition: Your shot appears to be well composed to me, even though you stretched some basic rules. You made this picture in a narrow portrait aspect rather than the traditional landscape mode. It works for you and you have a nice result. If you would have been able to I think it would have presented itself better if both the airplane and the steeple had not been centered, probable the steeple more to the left third of the frame.


Technical: The color, focus, and exposure all are fine to me. You have not over processed the image in your editing program, which is difficult to avoid in a low light picture.


Challenge: After seeing the results of the challenge this is the part that really hurt you. It looks like folks were really looking for the down home type of photography, but there is nothing that says your picture is not homey.


Suggestions: I have no suggestions to add to the ones I have already given. Yours is a good picture, with several different stories that the viewer might think up while looking at it. Keep up the good work.

I'm guessing the target is that plane - didn't see it at first. Good concept once I did.

Now being an American Missionary living in Minsk, Belarus, this photo has more impact on me than probably on most, but this is a great concept for me on HSH. Thanks. Maybe title it "Going Home" That's what I thought the title was when I was looking at, and then went back and noticed it a little different.

The colors adds nice contrast to the photo.

Very nice composition, although I can't decide if the timely fly-by is an asset or devalues the shot by reducing the expansive sky area. Sunset is a real cracker, with some lovely tonal graduation.

oh the plane is what you want us to see! :) Great sunset, I almost didn't see the flight.

Beautiful sunset. Unfortunately it takes the attention here and not the airplane. The airplane is too small to be the main subject in this image.

It took me a while to spot the airplane. A lovely sunset photograph.
