This is the first aviation shot that I have posted in this section, and so I am looking for some feedback.
One of many taken while I waited for my flight to arrive at Newark (KEWR)

Nice and sharp. Gives a good view on the tarmac...
But the composition is a but messy... different planes, half in the shot. It's better to focus on one plane or use a wide-angle to catch an entire scene...
But I know this isn't easy at an airport, where you can't go where you want... ;)

Just like Omag said, nice and sharp, I like the lighting, and personally I like the idea of getting the big bird behind the smaller bird, but I would have tried to get more of the big bird in the shot to even it out a bit...

I'm not normally a "cigar tube" person but I like it. The city in the background makes it interesting. Well done! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
This is all a matter of preference. It might not be technically perfect but you captured the atmosphere behind the scenes of a busy airport very well. IMHO

Not bad, DF. You even caught CO's new Q400!

You got to love that CO 777 in the background. The cars really gives you an idea of how big the engines are.

Very nice.

Nice work!! It shows the workings of the tarmac. Planes taxiing and being loaded.

It's a very nice landscape. Good fore, middle, and backgrounds. Good capture. ;)

Lovely image....especially the city backdrop

a quick tip though, have a play with the levels in post processing.....at the moment it looks a little overexposed

EDIT:
I've had a little play with it, hope you don't mind

I think its well put together aswell! However I do agree with most of the posts above. I like both planes but they are a little out of balance.
Also theres a little too much dead space at the top, however, nothing a good crop cant fix!
