Overall, this was the highest rated image in my list.  The textures are
superb.  The brick wall looks great.  The airplanes look great.  It has
somewhat of a painted look to the image overall, but somehow that just seems
to add to the mood of the scene.  I feel as if I could almost touch the
objects and have to wipe off the dust/rust/etc. from my fingers.

I didn't notice the large chains, assuming that perhaps chains really are
that big.  The only thing that bothered me was the wide angle "lens".  I had
used a wide angle for my Radio Graves entry, but then switched to a smaller
angle of around 55 degrees, simply because things end up getting so skewed
on the edges.  Maybe that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it makes the
image look strange.

The camera-tilt works well, imo.  Most of the chains are falling straight
down in the image, which puts the focus more on the plane.  A straight view
may have also made the hangar look more "bowed" on the sides, due to the
wide angle shot.

Great job!
