Hey Harold, I told ya a while back Id post some screenshots you'd like.  I finally got around to it [smiley=lolk.gif]

50N Boeing 737-400 from EHAM to LOWW

At the gate in Amsterdam.  I can't decide if I love or hate the tower, on one hand its beautiful but on the other its just weird
Image

Takeoff!  I love the sensation of power in these older 737s
Image

Turning towards LOWW
Image

Due to forum limits, I cannot post any of my shots of decent.  So Ill skip right to final!  

Who needs FSX?
Image

I love FlyTampa!  Moving traffic is awesome!  And again, who needs FSX ::)
Image

Touchdown!  Another nice landing thanks to 50N
Image

Welcome to Vienna!

Hope you enjoyed, comments welcome!

Shot# 1 the AI looks weird...
Immediately sets the mood for the entire thread......

#2 Is a strange angle and does not do anything in terms of "visual impact'!

#3 Is real bland with a moon in the sky, a flat horizon And.................
NEVER, NEVER SHOW YOUR HORIZON LINE!!!


Two WING SHOTS IN A ROW will equal a dull post as they void each other out!

Sorry Jake, it is just constructive critisism....

Ya dave, I know these stink.

The AI is weird because well its AI and all AI looks odd.  The horizon is impossible to get rid of, and the 2 wingviews in a row was because of the forum limits, I couldnt post some of the others I took because they were WAY too big in file size.

I actually liked some of the shots, even with the horizon line.  Who says what you can and can't do.  And as for wing shots, I see that quite frequently on here, when the poster is showing the passenger perspective.

Besides Dave's feedback (which is valid BTW) I like these shots. They lack a little color, but what's new in the Netherlands? We always have this kind of weather over here ;D I really like your last shot Jake! Very very cool! And good to see your KLM AI has the latest livery!

But you should get Cloud9 EHAM ... in shot #2 you can see that second tower, I was telling you about in Andy's post with the DC-10. That tower is not there in real life ::)

I think FLY2E was just being sarcastic because Jake has been rather critical of some peoples shots lately.

I think these shots are great.

I don't think so.  I've always been critical of people's shots but I never intend to be TOO critical, and I agree with dave.  I did not do a good job with these shots, or at least I did not do my best.

I greatly appreciate Dave's comments because I wouldn't have even noticed my mistakes!  I try to be the best I can be when i take screenshots, and sometimes I make mistakes and don't notice them, and unless someone points them out then I can't improve.

Jake I agree that you never go over the top on your critisism. I just saw his little kissy smiley and that is why I thought he was being sarcastic.

I still think these shots are great. Crisp clear and with and decent composition. Keep em comin!

My little kissy is because I am trying to spread some love around this place!  :P

I was just posting what I thought.
I think that Jake posts some real nice shots but I felt like saying what I said, that is all.  ;)
