A P-40 Warhawk as flown against the Japanese by the AVG (American Volunteer Group) in China under General Claire Chennault prior to the US entry into WWII. Taken at the 1941 Historical Aircraft Group Museum Airshow at Geneseo, NY this past weekend. Trying to provide a sense of both the grace and menace of this classic old fighter.
Shot RAW then converted in Adobe Camera Raw
PP in PSCS2 consisted of Curves, Hue/Saturation, Shadows/Highlights, Crop, Sharpening, and Resize.

Good colour, and focus and all that; I don't see a strong use of perspective here, but that could just be subjective. But then, the assessment of photographs is pretty subjective, anyhow. Your crop makes the pfamous paint-job definitely the focus of the image.
Would have convey perspective better from closer to dead-on to the nose, with the rest of the plane receding. This looks like just a normal shot of the plane.
