What do you think?

[jeykey]

Tell me what you think about this shot.  :)

[spitfire boy]

The clouds, sky and aircraft are all very good.... but I would have taken the shot over some mountains or something - that sea is a bit dull. Also, if you want the retro black and white look, it might be better trying a sepia effect.

[JLangholzJ]

it might be better trying a sepia effect.

the reason being that based on simply the style of that AC, full color wasn't widely available yet, and B&W although commonplace was starting to get more widely replaced by sepia and other light color films.

And also cos it'd look better...

Personally I prefer B&W for his shot, because originally it shouldn't look like an old photograph, but like a simple, sharp, B&W photo.  ;)
But I made two sepia versions. Is it better now?  :)

[spitfire boy]

I like the sharper grainy one alot!

[Double_Farvel]

Nice! I like the third one the best!  ;) It has the most contrast between the sky/plane and the clouds and water.

I agree with you completly, spitfire boy!
I always prefer rather critical comments because there's no perfect shot and there is always something to improve.
So when I see a critical comment I know that someone really thought about the shot and not just wrote something.
So thanks for your critique spitfire boy.  ;)

Sorry about the above post of mine.... I was tired and irritable at the time and I was ready to snap at anything. Although I must say that being accused of lack of contribution I find not only unfounded but also unacceptable, in my mind at least.

i was just saying, you seem ready to critique on everyone elses work yet rarely see yours.

But why is there anything fundamentally wrong with that? :-?

P.S. I can't recall seeing much of yours either...

Anyway, lets stop this now before it gets out of hand. I just wanted to make clear that me helping people become better screenshooters by telling them where improvement can be made does not automatically mean I have to chain myself to my computer (I have other things which have to take priority, bear in mind I'm in the exams period, years 10 + 11) and post a fully fledged screenshot set every 5 minutes. I prefer to come up with one occasionally that I feel I've put a lot of effort into. And I do NOT wish to be lectured to on how I should change that habit. I mean, so what if I'm a bit slow posting my work... that does not automatically mean I cannot get involved in this area, where the shots are displayed. It's a common and rather irritating trend I've been noticing... it is NOT tantamount to hypocrisy, because I'm not accusing anyone of anything or belittling them in any way.

[spitfire boy]

yeh but i dont post crit in every single post with a shot in.

But what's the problem with me doing so? Answer; there isn't one.

End of.
