Hi all,

One from the summer; a 737 from the now-bust Excel Airways on approach to Corfu/Kerkyra Airport. I rather liked how the island is reflected on the side of the fuselage. Hope you like it!

Any C+C welcome,

Cheers,

Ben ;)

Very, sharp and I'm really liking the close crop. The reflection is a really nice touch.

Shadows are a bit "dense" but it may be simply a My Monitor / Your Monitor thing.

"Now-bust Excel Airways..." Wonder if they simply had trouble keeping their spreadsheet balanced... :lol:

Yup, I was trying to strike a balance between washed out and punchy - I think I'll do a re-edit.
As for the joke...get your coat!! :p

Even with the blown highlights & black wheels, I like that shot. The light on it gives it some character.

Shadows are a bit "dense" but it may be simply a My Monitor / Your Monitor thing.

Color managed Firefox3, Firefox 3 "Enable Color Management" Trick., isn't showing any details in the wheels. There are many other ways to do it, but the simplest is using a Layer Mask for local changes. Post #9:
