Hey, M8! That is ASTOUNDINGLY good for a second composite! :o
As DF said, she's a bit low. That's a composition thing but you did GREAT on the technical part! :)
Keep messing around. The more you make the more you'll learn. At the rate you're going, I expect to see some masterpieces in short order! No doubt about it! You can do it! ;)
I'd say it looks pretty good, but the plane looks a bit larger than it should be. The shadow looks a lot smaller than the plane anyway... Also, the bottom of the fuselage looks pretty dark compared to the rest of the lighting in the pic and also if you take the light being reflected by the beach into account... The angle of the shadow under the elevators also doesn't match the angle of the lighting in the photograph(look at the shadow on the ground again). Apart from that it's all good. 8-)
