I took this one in August last year from the Endeavour when I saw an airliner just about to fly over.
I thought it would add a contrast to the photo.

Just not sure about this one. Something about the composition is off putting. I have tried to correct with cropping and moving the airplane about, but can't make it work. I would be keen to get the opinion of the others...

I quite like it. The placement of the jet in the corner is great, and although it's heading out of the image, I don't think that it spoils this image.

The contrast between the rigging and and the plane is a wonderful representation of then and now, and for me, this image simply works.

I think it works well. Good use of cropping :)

I like, and with some simple jiggery pokey one could turn the plane around and place it anywhere in the sky :wink:

Try a vertical crop almost straight down the middle, keep the left hand side, see what you think.

That is an idea worth toying with!

As requested, I think it also works.
