Rip This II

You know what to do.



Don't forget that anybody can post a Rip This thread if they want to!

The clouds are too low, making them look as if the ground sliced them

Jaggies on wing and in paintjob.

The texture on the plane isn't quite sharp and clear enough to make out, a few jaggies?

I think that the plane should be a little closer so that more detail can be seen

Just saw the shot.
Just three remarks for me:

- the jaggies are indeed a problem, minor, but still a problem

- the plane could be bigger on that shot. I understand that you want a contrast between the "small" plane and the "big" cloud, but we're lacking some details here

- the cloud is cool. I don't think it's too low at all, the forest creates a nice effect, kind of jungle-style humidity. The three are cool too, but we can see the ground between them, they are not dense enough. Perhaps a good workaround would be to lower the altitude of the camera, the ground would not be visible anymore and the tree density would look greater.

Thanks for the help fellas. 8-)

I think overall its a good shot. The low clouds give it a mountainous feel. Yes, the plane is too far away, and that is why there are jaggies. Closer plane, less or no jaggies. In fact, i think id like the shot better without any aircraft in it.

All good points already raised.

My main pointer is to do with the composition of your shot. It gives a top heavy feel. This is caused by the shape of the land and the clouds. If you follow their line you see that they are creating two wedges with the lower end to the right. Add the sky to this and you have three well defined areas in your shot. The lower trees at the bottom, the hills in the middle and the sky at the top. Your cessna is being made to feel trapped by these and not in free flight. If it were higher in the shot and free of those wedge effect it would regain the feeling of freedom.

Piccie attached to show what I mean. With the Cessna moved up and the wedge lines drawn on
