Critique Ratings

I find this to be a very interesting subject, but see a couple of things missing here: first of all, the plane's focus is just subtly off (or so it seems to my eye, and I've taken zillions of OOF pictures, so I consider myself an expert! lol) Second, either due to whatever material you have it resting on, the lighting or perhaps this was simply cut out and pasted on white in PS, it appears to be floating in negative white space, unanchored and therefore, not as interesting. I am sure it could still be photographed on a white background, but I don't like the unsettling feeling of floating here. And one final, nitpicky note: perhaps if you just slightly turned the plane with its nose to face the camera (literally just a wee bit more) it might give even more of a three-dimensional affect, and allow the viewer to get a real feeling for this wonderful old tool.
