Hi Doug,

Very nice shots and excellent choice of aircraft !
Alabeo or Carenado aircrafts are known for their excellent 3D modelling, so don't hesitate to capture them from close.
Many usual aircraft models would show their lack of polygons or blurry textures, so you should usually avoid taking a picture from "too close"... but not with Alabeo or Carenado ones.

The angles of view are good, but I have some remarks:
- The first shot is cool, nothing bad to say about it. We can see the beautiful aircraft, the scenery, and the place you came from. Perfect.
- The second shot is nice as well, you placed the aircraft in a corner, not too far away, to free up the view on the scenery. The only problem is: the scenery is a bit empty, there's not much to watch.
- In the third shot however, the scenery looks good, with a nice landscape and nice clouds to enhance the view. The plane is a bit far (=small in the screen), but in that case, it's not bad at all, it makes a nice composition.
- In the shots 4 and 6 though, you should have modified the distance between the camera and the plane, to make these shots a bit more original. Here also, the same remark as shot #2 can be made: there is not much to look at in the scenery. This is especially true for shot #6.
- The shot #5 is a traditional VC shot and it's always nice to look at such a nice VC. You might want to include a little bit more "front window" in the shot, though, so that both the VC and the outside landscape can be admired at the same time

Thanks Stephane...Very much appreciated as always...
