    Georg,

    they both look to be too low, look at the fuselage of each shot and crop away about one centimeter on the top....

          You also have to take into account when centering a profile shot , that even though there may be an even number of squares above and below the fuselage, tail will therefore come in to play , the easiest way to do this is when cropping using aspect ratios (OR hold the shift key down like I do) is to keep the crosshair in the centre of the fuselage , somewhere around the window lines but if you crop using the SHIFT key option remember to only drag your CORNERS in.
          Then you'd need to tak e a look and maybe lower it say a 1/3 of the fuselage height to compensate for the tail so tht although the fuselage isnt centred vertically it is indeed vertically balanced ,an uncentred shot is also a lot more noticeable in the thumbnail when screening than it is at 100% on photoshop.

            Depends on the subject but I almost always follow the rule of thirds. If it's just a standard sideon, I let the aircraft (using the entire vertical space the aircraft occupies...landing gear to top of tail) occupy the middle third while the top and bottom third are empty.
