Very nice! I like everything, the composition, the mystery, the development, the colours (with that yellow toolbox that is like a dot in an exclamation mark).

Just to be picky, there is a bit of chromatic aberration in the top left corner that is distracting me.

Good title for a fine shot.. I like it, though his hair parting is on the severe side...

Thanks Gianluca and Rob! Glad you like it. The slight mystery appealed to me too... I've been entertaining myself wondering what the plot could be... maybe he's James Bond's opposite number?
He did stand out, both in dress and in the close attention he was giving that plane...

Taken at an air show/display.

Ah... well spotted. I noticed it too, after posting...

though his hair parting is on the severe side...

Isn't it? Only to be expected of a secret agent I expect....

Well, you can tell he's not inspecting a Boeing 737...

True! It was something from the RAAF - along the lines of a Hercules but I'm not very well up on my aircraft.

fantastic

Thanks very much.

Meant as an editorial on the number of recent problems with stuff falling off Boeing aircraft.

I like the color and the dwarfing of the observer by the plane in the top shot.

Thanks - I must confess that the reference went flying over my head...

You are correct, C130 Hercules. They were/are in service with the RAF for nearly 60 years.
