I like this a lot better. And as you know I've got a soft spot in my heart for fine old flying machines.

Here it is in its original colour version. Not sure whether B&W is better or not? Regards Bob

This is a nice picture of wood, canvas and bailing wire. I'd like to see more of the shadow on the ground. It would IMHO be better picture without the partial desat. Go full color or full B&W. I just don't like partial desats. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

Thanks Mary Anne and RK, I used de-sat here to emphasize the wooden struts on the plane and the original coloured version has a boring dull background and so I thought to bring the focus back to the subject? Regards Bob

Great capture and love the timing... why the selective desat? - RK

The selective desat really does give it more of a toylike appearance. I'm glad you gave an explanation. --Mary Anne
