Neutral Very nice but desperately calls for some lead room rather than a centered composition. Too many images are promoted here despite their violation of this simple but important aesthetic principle. Gidip (talk) 14:31, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There is more space ahead of the aircraft than behind it and the pilot is horizontally positioned around the golden ratio. Vertically, I don't see a good opportunity for an alternative composition. What I tried to do is find a balance between good composition and an aircraft that doesn't disappear in the frame. I agree that a different solution could also work, so I tried to give an alternative below, using an off-center composition and a wider aspect ratio to still keep the empty space at an acceptable level. I'll happily take advice on how to further improve on this. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 15:34, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree with Gidip, but IMO a crop on the left is enough, see note Christian Ferrer (talk) 17:25, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support Better!!! And the wider aspect ratio further strengthens the feeling of movement. Gidip (talk) 13:45, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
