Hey Monty here's you pic adjusted.

H Monty
All i did with this was.
Image/adjustments/curves.
I moved the bottom right point up a little to lighten all the dark colors and fiddled with a few placed points to keep the pic looking balanced.
What do you think?

G'day AJ
Missed out on getting your smiling face in frame at the Golf 4 holdpoint the other day.
I think you were in 155A heading over to NZ.
I got a couple of nice shots wich will be up in the next couple of days but missed you as we went out before you.
Nice shots from Japan by the way.
I see what you get up to now on those 36hr slips hey!!
Take it easy
Darren.
PS I also prefer the contrasty one.
I also think they are far from experts especially when it comes to photography!
Given most of them will reject a photo which is taken using the 1/3 rule(the golden rule of composition) i really don't waste to much time trying to convince them of there own inadequacies.

Heya Darren...yup, that was us off to Auckland instead of Narita

Thanks mate, learning the ropes on this new camera/lens, we get 24 hours in Narita (when we get there) and we stay near the aeroporto...what better activity to partake of?

[Darren Howie]

Yea mate its a pretty handy airport to be learning how to handle that 100-400.
I was a bit dissapointed i didn't get the chance to take some photo's of aircraft when i was up there in January.
Did get some exceptional shots around town though.
Take care
Dazz
