Quality and unusual lighting

[LX-A343]

Here's a little tip...Sit in your normal position looking at the picture. Look at the centre of the picture.

Now move backwards fairly quickly to at least double the distance you normally sit from the screen.

Notice how you almost immediately see what looks like more dead space above the aircraft ?

Nothing to add!!!

It does need to be higher in the frame. There is more fuselage below your centreline than there is above.

The aircraft has a tail too though (!) and should be considered in the composition, surely? Certainly many framing-related posts I've read on various forums in the past have always emphasised that an aircraft is more than its fuselage. If it weren't for the dust spots I'd be appealing this one, I feel.

Thanks for the feedback thus far - helpful!

I'm still not seeing how the shot should be higher in the frame though - looks balanced to me.

Thanks for the help, guys!

This equalised image should help identify the dustspots.....

[LX-A343]

Also, place it a bit higher in the frame.

Ok, they are identical. Remove the dust spot under the tail and upload again.

Picture's at the top of the thread...

It helps a lot if you post the link to the reject, saves me a lot of time searching for it

[tomcollins]

This one's just been rejected for dust spots and bad framing; I spent a while removing dust spots but have just noticed one or two that I missed, so fair enough on that one. Framing though - I really don't understand that one - any ideas??

[tomcollins]

Thanks, guys. One thing that's puzzling me though - notice Virgin America have a grey painted frame around the rearward cockpit window; to my eye this really gives it a blurred look (and does so in my other photos of the same bird). Do you think that's misleading at all?

little blurry, very little soft, but overall I think it has a good chance to make it.

Agree.

Overall it looks fine to me ! (there goes that inconsistency thing)
