Would something like this have a chance?

[E-Diddy!]

Motive-wise, I like the effect of the water droplets on the shiny metal surface:

SWEET SHOT! Might get a bad motive though

I thought it might, but for some reason I can't stop staring at it

That's how I feel at the moment . Would be great if it would come in but sadly I don't think it could.

Great detail you picked there!

Nice idea, but to be honest I dont really like it - but thats because I dont prefer engine close-ups in general. To answer your question I would give it a badmotive and hand it over to another screener for a second opinion. Lets wait for some more thoughts of other crew members.

Very interesting shot E-Diddy. Like myself I sometimes try different angles etc while taking photos of aircraft (especially close-ups like this one) and it can be pushing the limits of bad motive sometimes, but I think here it's been pushed just a little too far. There's too many water droplets and not enough aircraft IMO. Nice shot anyway

Wouldnt that be an artistic shot?

Hmm... didn't think of that.. new question: If I submitted it as an artistic shot, would it have a chance?

Well, we have the Artistic category, should something go wrong and Jetphotos decide to accept artistic photos

Sounds optimistic enough for me

Nice Shot Eric Have to love those rain drops...

Even if you selected artistic, you'd still get a bad motiv from me i'm afraid. Not to say that I don't like the effect, it is very nice, but as has been said by others, not enough aircraft really.

[Kwashiorkor]

not enough aircraft really.

But what is the artistic category then for?

This is "real" aviation art ....
