Defining Good "Raw" Screen Shots

[Cherokee_6]

Hello all,

I can not help but notice that certain screne shots will get more views/replies then others. So I started wondering what exactly interests people when it comes to screen shots?

Feel free to pick more then one!

I like shots of interesting scenery...
After all, a plane, is a plane, is a plane, it's what you are flying over down below that I find interesting.
Towering mountains, deep valleys, lakes, forests, etc...
at different times of the year and different times of the day... ...!
For that reason I like bush flying at low level in single props... ...!
To include a plane, a nice de-Haviland Beaver amphibian landing near the shores of a secluded, tree-lined lake, in a Wintery sun-set, is my ideal sort of screen-shot... ...!

Cheers all... ...!

Seems to me (from the response on the poll) that everyone pretty much has their own ideas about what makes a great screenshot.  Some like the aircraft, others like the scenery, and so on.  The reason you get some shots with many responses is that there are people who like to see the shot and not post what they think of it, just let the views speak for themselves, and others (like me) who like to let the person know that we, as individuals, appreciate their shots.

In my opinion, a good screenshot consists of a good aircraft (payware or freeware), lighting conditions (sun or moon), angle (a position that highlights the aircraft and it features, etc), and scenery (backdrop).

I like all screens that are well done.

However, the ones that really grab my attention are those that have some semblance of realism to them.
