That's really cool :D. You should write to that company and sell them some prints of it. There are some things to improve but I think that shot is not something you can plan, so thumbs up for sure! :)
Solid image, I really like it. I also agree it would be nice to see the plane a little sharper but for the equipment you're working with you've done a fantastic job. As for the noise, have you considered masking the sharpening on everything but the plane and applying a weak noise filter? should pretty much eliminate it.
Issac, that's an excellent idea, I will do that to eliminate the noise.
what I did in this is that I selected the radial filter and reversed the selection to that of the plane and used the noise reduction. Please tell me if it is working.
I'm glad you found it constructive and yup I think it added just that small improvement needed to bring the photo up a level :)
Another way you could go about it in the future that may be easier (especially with more textually complex photos) if you use Lightroom (other programs also but I don't know them) is to use the sharpening masking tool. I've only learnt about it recently from a nice free tutorial, what it essentially does is stops sharpening from being applied to parts of the photo with less textural detail (i.e. sky, smooth water surfaces etc). I'm really bad at explaining it but I would highly recommend to check out this tutorial (https://photographylife.com/how-to-properly-sharpen-images-in-lightroom) as it not only goes into way more detail on what I said but it also shows you a neat trick where you can hold down the alt key (windows) or option key (mac) when you make adjustments to show you what exactly what is being changed on a black and white overlay.
Solid catch! how long did it take for that shot to line up?
10mintues and approximately 15 shots. 😂😂

thank you. I would like what I could have improved it. :P
Don't know if it is possible but, if it could be a little sharper and with less noise it would look better.
ok. thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It will help me a lot.
