thx pdeboer

well, a tad is a tad, is a tad...

(I must say, usually I left them dark... in order to reduce any non essential processing, I left them dark.
TAP Portugal planes are a nigthmare to me... the blacks and whites are always wrong/dificult to assess... so they end up dark, not the case here anyway )

.. so do they look better/ok now ?

Of course dlowwa, no need to apology at all. It was my mistake. In fact I posted in two different days.. but in less than 24 hours.
It was the heat of the moment ... sorry.

All would be rejected for various issues including contrast, soft, exposure, backlit. Not likely that any of them are fixable.

Got it. It was my first series in bad weather, I did not knew what to expect. Clearly, shooting white planes against a white backdrop is a challenge.
Living in a country with 300 sunny days per year, the sunniest in Europe....there's no need to push the envelope.
Thanks again. back to you soon with ... hopefully sunny photos.

No editing/contrast issues, but most seem to be soft towards the right side.

Exporting it to 1920px... I really can't see the softness to the rigth.

However having a closer look, maybe 3,4,5 have an issue with the a clear color in the tail and the plane orientation/position..

1 has an "optical interference" in the tail , that make the words armee de l'air a bit fuzzy...(the remaining of the tail looks in focus) which is a pitty .
Having a Franch Military plane in the Lisbon Aiport doesn't happen every day

.. in summary if they don't look good or appealing , let's move on... there's lots of other planes to choose from.

Can you please have a look at these, catch of the day ? thx
