Wow! That's some serious sensor dust! You might win the dust bunny challenge!

Cool idea, but it seems a little boring to me.

I like this shot but it's a shame about the black spots. Maybe just a little more of the chopper in the scene. Great idea.

Oh...that was one of my favorite movies way back when! I think more of the helicopter would have been better but it's probably a modern helicopter so your edit is good. Looks like you got some dust on the lense or debris in the air?

I'm always taking bad photos of helicopters -- this looks like a better way to approach it : )

I like the silhouette of the helicopter and the colour of the clouds but find all the black dots in the sky a bit distracting.

Might want to check your lens for dust... watch the spots.. The cropping is a little unconventional... might want to keep the heli in full picture..

I think you probably know what I'm going to say, but ignoring the obvious, I like the color and the concept.
