It will be challenged I am sure. It is borderline... I wouldn;t bother as it is not a pretty picture light-wise. If I were you, keep it on personal gallery or Flickr :-) Now, if you really want a technical assesment of the lighting, the sun is NOT directly overhead. If you can see the light on the WestJet, it is coming directly from the left of the image. Indeed you see the top of the 757 is lit but the nose is dark. If indeed the sun was directly overhead, the WestJet would look exactly like the 757 which is the top is lit and the fuselage is not. i will draw a quick picture to show you what I mean...

As Manny stated.........keep it as a personal favorite. Unfortunately the lighting was not in your favor.

Thanks Manny for the diagram, very helpful!
How are these?





Hope these are worth it, I got major sun burn!

1 is blurry, probably not salvageable.

2 is very dark.

3, 4 and 5 are acceptable.

Couple more added to the Q.

Mike that is irresponsible... REMOVE that photo immediately. First of all, there is a human being just about to get crushed by the beastly monster and second of all, I still don;t have a picture of this plane.

Funny story...after I shot it that day, I saw it two more times at the gate while I was down in MIA...then again at IAD just a few weeks ago. Sorry Manny, you got the 748, I got Sharko.

I like the angle, is this any good?

same plane again.

The one chance I had at Sharko at MIA, she came 3 hours late....2 hours past sunset. Then on my departing flight, we sat for a few minutes, waiting to taxi....with Sharko parked right next to us, looking sweet with the cabin lights on. On my EWR-MIA flight, we stopped right next to the US Airways Nevada plane....another I've been trying to get a good shot of, for the longest time. The spotting gods hate me.

Is this worth uploading?

Kris, for the AA's, 1 is a bad crop, plane is cut off, and the horizon is unlevel. For #2, the horizon is also unlevel.

The Continental looks good.

[Kris V]

So did I fix #1 now?

I'm not sure about the first one if they would reject it or not. Part of me thinks it would get in as it is nice and sharp and none of the fuselage is cut off and it is centered in the frame. But part of me thinks that if you get a screener that is having a bad day he will reject it for "part of plane cut off/missing".

The second photo I think will get rejected for being soft. It may just be my crappy monitor here at the office, but to me the second photo looks soft.
