Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Hi Guys,

After some crtiques for this pic.

http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=706537&size=L&sok=&photo_nr=

Using 70-300G.

Some post processing in Photoshop was done also such as sharpening and brightness/contrast etc.

Let me know what you think and what can be done to improve.

Cheers
Brad

Hi Brad
nice shot! I've got about 35 photo's on airliners all taken with my D70.The standard for a photograph to get on Airliners has got to be high so I don,t think you can improve your photo any more.
What time of day did u take the picture?

Nice pic Brad - must have been early morning or towards dusk - I would guess at dusk due to the colour

Wow, that's really good work Brad. Slight evidence of oversharpening, but that's being VERY picky!

Hi Brad,
I think the picture is really good, but I found myself wanting to see more of the environment ( which I guess is what you wanted to avoid).
Cheers,
Gerard

Excellent, congratulations on getting it on Airliners.net. They are very picky with their photos.

Hey BBJ, don't know when the last time you were in Adelaide was (I had been away for 3 years until Nov!) but there's an outlet Shopping Mall kinda thing called "Harbourtown" right next to the airport now. There's a glass wall about halfway along the mall where you can sit and have a coffee/yiros etc and watch the planes land and take off!

I'd love to send this airliners.net page to those guys on dpreview that were whinging (being paranoid in my opinion) that people shouldn't be allowed to take photo's on planes..surely terrorists find pic's like this one useful:

Hi Liam, Yes mate would be interesting. I had heard that maybe even seen it, as someone was saying they have some good shops there.
Last time we was there we always stay at the Adelaide shores park or as known the west beach carravan park so not far away. I fi am up on my own i stay at my mates at Little Hampton but you can bet that when i am there next i will be stopping by for a looks.
Cheers

Very nice.

Too often shots of planes don't capture the magnificence of these amazing machines seen in real life, but you've managed to do it.
