I think the gear is coming out a little too late, but other than that looks pretty good as far as I can tell.

Hey, I found this exact photo while trying to piece together my 747-200 composite. :P

As far as the edit goes...I will be honest, but I will also point out what you could improve on. I don't really like it...however, you could improve by doing several things. Firstly, cut down on the grain. You seem to like going for realism - in reality, there is very little grain. It also detracts from the wonderful details of the photo and the CLS 300/310. Secondly, if I can remember correctly, AF have used the 300 series from...the late 70s to the present day (albeit cutting back on their fleet...). I'm sure that, during the 70s and early 80s, most of the structures in the background did not exist, thus, leaving us with the late 80s/90s/2000s. Film quality during these periods in time was grand, and it allowed for quite a lot of colour, and light. Try not to desaturate the picture so much to reflect this film quality.

Well Nick, I hope that helped. :)

Alright  :) Now that I look back at it I can also see I put to much grain on.

Thanks everyone for the advice/comments

Nick :)
