    Hi guys,

    good news! I got it accepted!

    For the result check this:
    Busy times at the E-concourse. You can see 3x MD11's, 1x A330 and two 747's Good for approx. 1800 pax!! On the other side of the E-concourse which you can't see on this picture were also 2 other A330's from NW and two more KL 747's. The E-concourse is mainly used by KLM and Northwest. Sometimes you'll find there a lost IR A300 or a SIA B777.. PH-KCA. McDonnell Douglas MD-11. JetPhotos.com is the biggest database of aviation photographs with over 5 million screened photos online!


    Once again, thank you very much for your contributions!

    Cheers,
    Joop
    Congrats

    The picture has got a repeating pattern of the DC10 tails broken with the red one. It's an acceptable picture, outside of Jetphotos that is.

    The only minor criticism I could make is the portion of the KLM tail behind the red tail, it should be more isolated to stand out from the others but that's photographers for you, every one is a critic.

    The histogram is very clean and there is no forest of jaggie bits so I doubt that anything was "done" to it post processing. We're not photo journalists, it's the finished article that counts.

    It would probably look good on a wall.

    I can't be any more sure about it than a screener can.

    Look at the histogram, the right side, and you will see that this pic is underexposed, easy to improve imho

    If the sun casts a dull winter afternoon light, why is that bad? Should he manipulate the photo to make it different than it really appeared? I know you don't care, but I disagree.

    or you make a duplicate layer, apply your changes to that .. Then apply your selection with the marquee tool, press delete and reveal the original layer.

    Brian, somehow I'm worried about what you did to the Northwest tail in your edit.

    Hey Wallace. After you marked the strips, every changes you make (adjusted levels, sat/hue) will be "inserted" in the marks. Same goes with the splitscreen test.

    See example below, Press the Marquee tool and press Shift button.

    Split screen / test strips

    Out of technical curiosity, how do you do the test strips. That's an interesting comparison.

    Joop, if you are using Photoshop, Hold down the Alt key when you are adjusting the white slider, you will then be able to see the white points breaking through and starting to become overexposed.

    I would say that your cameras' light meter, compensated for all the reflected light off the white tails and stopped down the exposure, better that than burning all the whites out.
    Shooting RAW would have helped or manually dialing up a +1 (or so) f. stop exposure adjustment on your camera.

    Adjusted the histogram to bring the right arrow to the start of the upslope and added +10 contrast.

    Not only, no, it depends
