Here we go:

Let's start with the angle. It's okay. You have the majority of the aircraft in the shot and it's not too zoomed out. Since this shot focuses completely on the plane and not much else, I would have dropped the angle down a bit in order to give the aircraft a more powerful presence in the shot.

The one thing that I really don't like is that the shot is 33% gray ground. It's not very interesting to look at. Again, dropping the angle would eliminate some of the ground and give you more sky, which is more interesting to look at. That is, if there is some interesting weather. Try experimenting with different weather themes in order to make more attractive and interesting backgrounds.

Overall this is a nice screenshot. It's all subjective, but I think you have a good base and a good idea that can be added to to make it even better.

Cool

I agree with B-valvs.
It's too late to change the angle.......but, what you can do is crop some of the foreground out....

B-valvs also mentioned weather......some clouds would definately add to the shot Wink

Great shot though....keep it up Wink

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

I think B-Valvs and Chuck are hitting the nail on the head with their critique of your very nice screenie!

The only other thing I would add is it doesn't always have to be clouds, the sky color or lack of color can change the
entire mood of the pic.
With a no frills editor you can accomplish some amazing pics! Posted appropriately of course!

Nice shot, concur with the others. Perhaps one of the engines starting up/spinning would make it cooler too.
