Love the juxtaposition in this shot!!
By “juxtaposition” are you referring to the buildings in the background? From a compositional standpoint, the buildings are out of place and are a poor backdrop for the subject – details of the subject are getting lost in the clutter of the buildings.
When photographing complicated shapes like airplanes, a simple, plain background is best. See recent picture of the Lake amphib for a good example.
I mean the juxtaposition of the vintage aircraft with modern buildings. It doesn’t have to be composed perfectly to evoke emotion. What a great gift that warbirds like this are still flying in 2020. 😊
