After Challenge - Thanks all for the comments, I expected somewhere between a 6.2-6.3, so it definitely worked out, just need to keep climbing the ladder now ;)
Shot was HDR processed, threw in a gradient and pretty much called it a day.. was also the only airbus that flew by in the timeframe I had allocated, small island :D

A lovely wide angle is a little cliche for planes but works so well. Lovely sky colours and foreground detail. Perhaps a lower camera positon to the ground would have increased the foreground effect for an even more striking image. Perfect composition in terms of position of the plane in the image and allowing enough empty space on the right hand side for it to "fly" into
there are two things that I don't like here. first, unfotunately the airplane is cropped. second, I don't like the crop of the image. I think that there is too much sky on top. as personal opinion I think that if you cut 2 cm on top the image is more better. 6
