Not sure if I really like this sort of PP treatment or not, guess the original was pretty average to start with but I'm tempted to get it printed anyway. Is the background too distracting? worth spending the time to clone some stuff out?

Nice shot.

Could use maybe a touch more contrast perhaps and maybe pull the right side of the frame in a bit more to the plane has more room in front than behind. If you shot RAW, maybe you can bring back a little detail from the sky?

As for making it more "period" feeling you've got some "de-modernizing" to attempt due to the Cessna tail camera left. I think I'd clone out the one person standing there as well.

Lots of potential with which to play!

It has possibilities. Play with different crops, etc.

I like the PBY but not the man or the news GA planes.

Cool shot.

I think the crop is fine. If your going in to that old look then they wouldn't have the lens like we have today so I think the crop suits it.

removing the planes from the background will help with it too

I would like to see the spitfire sharper too

apart from that it looks good.

First off, I thought it was a scanned picture from the early 40's or something, nice work. I like the picture... however, I think there is just too much going on in the background, too much to clone out (then it becomes "fake" imo). if it were about 20 feet higher, it would have been better.
