I like that. It would have been nice if you could have had the prop covers taken off.

Not generally a fan of very-high-contrast processing, but it works pretty well for this. The trees in the lower left are a little distracting to me and I'd probably crop a little on that side, but maybe it's just me ...

I'm really quite impressed.

I love the separation you've maintained between the high acutance areas and the softer areas. I think it really works well.

The only suggestions (and they are only suggestions) is to crop a small amount off the left just for balance and soften the choppy bokeh in the OOF a little.

Offered a a suggestion only:

the engine cooling fins were completely dark, as I was using no flash. But I used lightroom to selectively brighten just the inner case with the adjustment brush
