I had little expectations with this one when i shot the pic. It did have really nice tones but didn't strike me as overly impressive. I burned in the lower right corner and the sky to make it a little more dramatic.

Thanks for the votes and comments.

This was one of my faves in the challenge and now a favourite...love the detail and contrast...I read a lot about that Tamron lens and it's sharpness, maybe I need to get me one! 12th place is fantastic

perfect lighting. i would love to see even more of the plane and the border seems a bit out of proportion.

Beautiful tones, fantastic technical quality and sharpness, composed exceptionally well. What more could you ask of a B&W in order to score it 10?

The angle this was taken at takes it from a good picture to a great picture, you can feel the power and size of the plane this way. Beautiful range of tones in all a very powerful black and white study. 10
