beautiful shot, great edit!
I like the little touches such as the aircraft in the distance and the bloke risking it all! 8-)
if you dont mind me commenting, i would try darkening the deck of the carrier a bit to match the rest of the pic, and it would emphasise the amazing sunset a bit more. also, try a bit of blur on the catch rope (probably not the technical term!),
as I said before though, I like it alot!!
