It was a nice day with interesting clouds. I was trying to think of a way I could incorporate that into my Photo, so I decided to goto the Airport. A 45 minute drive from my house, and by that time all the clouds had disapeared. Oh well. I took about 70 shots (some ended up just blank sky) before I got this one.
Used PS7 to adjust the Hue/Saturation, sharpen, and crop.

First, let me say congratulations on the Top 20 finish! This is a great shot!
The saturation of colors is very nice, but almost to the point of hurting the eyes and the focus seems a bit soft on the sign and the nose of the plane.
I can appreciate how difficult it was to get this shot. Waiting about a half second longer before shooting would probably have given us the whole plane, but I don't think the missing tail section detracts too much from the shot.
All in all, I think this is a great shot and one of which you should be proud.
Timing is everything. What would have made this even better would be to have the entire plane visible. (IMO) Otherwise good composition, exposure and contrast.
