Composure is great. Wish it was a bit darker...especially the sky above the hanger.
 
I really like the high key tones. I have a weak spot for old hangars and airplanes. I go to Oshkosh Wisconsin every so often to get my fix. The toning looks really good too, but what I think is especially well done is the tight composition. It tells a great story without including too much detail. I think that is part of why I think this is so successful.
Nice work!
 
One of the all time cool planes IMHO, did you know they only stopped making them in 1970? Hope this one is still flying, looks like it might be. Agree the square framing is very successful here.
Thanks for posting
 
Great light touch with toning. Sky looks fine in this high key light toning context.

Nice lines. I don't know if a two bladed prop ever stops a bit closer to the vertical but if it does this might look better. The end of the prop gets a little lost where it is.
