A couple more I could use some prescreening.

Kris, The Alaska looks fine, The SW looks a little soft, if you like send me the original and I will be more than happy to give you my take on it [email protected]

Kris......my two cents........both look soft to me, I would sharpen both. The composition of the Alaska looks sweet, although I might crop the image to the back of the tail. The Southwest composition doesn't agree with me, maybe it's the perspective or something.

I find both to be soft... especially the Alaska (what a gorgeous c/s that is!! missed it at LAX :-( )

Anyhow, the Southwest I felt the shadows could use some curve tweaks so I also did that and some selective sharpening. It will never look great editing an already resized JPG but here they go...

DON'T FORGET that the forum code indiscriminately re-sizes any image above 800 pixels wide so right-click and view image at its original size for the correct view.

Thought I would try a night shot from the KMSP observation deck. Luckily I shot RAW and I has been tweaked to get it this far. Comments, suggestions appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Jeremy - the top half of your night shot seems pretty empty, and the nosewheel on the front aircraft is obstructed. Would probably get a motive rejection on those two counts.

United 777

You can see purple in the reflections, signs of chromatic aberration. It is also dark and backlit. Unfortunately, I'm afraid the overall quality of this shot makes it one for the personal collection.

Thanks for the input!
How is this?

[gonzalu]

Kris, last one seems a bit soft, oof and maybe too distant? Also grainy and a bit underexposed. Maybe also a bit low in frame but it may be subjective

[Kris V]

Thanks Manny!
How are these?

[gonzalu]

Kris, all are a little to very soft. If you like, you can send me an original RAW or JPG and I can let you know if they are good enough and maybe just your edits above. If too much OOF or distant on the originals, it may be no way to salvage. I am at work and my monitor here is pretty poor but the contrast on some seems a bit harsh as well. Mid-Day shooting is difficult to edit :-) Unless it is an absolute must have, I usually go and have lunch from 11:00am to 1:30pm or whenever sun is at highest point. This is of course as far as the A.net and JP.net databases are concerned. For personal collection, anything goes :P

[Kris V]

Thank you Manny, my Macbook screen makes them look sharp, guess I should double sharpen then.
Will send you the original JPG of the 2 I must have. (The Air Canada and the United)

Kris
Here are they more sharpened.

[gonzalu]

Much better :-) The Air Canada is still a bit soft mainly tail/nose but not by much... use small USM numbers ... the United is still a bit off on the tip of the nose but it may be my poor monitor at work ...

[Kris V]

Still working on them...
Here is another this time a US Air, rare for me to see them.
I am unsure if this counts as backlight, hence because the shot was taken at 12:00 Noon where the sun is at its highest point in the sky.
