Very similar to my last post, but hopefully not looking so plastic.
Don't be polite, its hard to improve without criticism.

OK ... they're *dreadful* :lol: :D :ph43r:

Seriously, though ... not sure whether it's just my monitor, but these appear slightly more contrasty than most of your shots - which I always think are superbly lit. Do you tweak them much (usually)? Can't fault the angles though ;)

Nothing wrong with your eyesight Adam...yes I did tweak the contrast .... point taken, thank you Sir. :thumbup:
Re Tweaking...no, not much, normally a crop and light sharpen...I'm just using Picasa now....my photoshop sub is well gone.

I think that big bright white stripe on the fin is confusing th'old Mk1 eyeballs. The marking on Charl's Spit is much less obtrusive. B-)

EDIT - I cross-posted with Marty :wub:

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

Another great set, Marty.
Reminds of watching the start of The Battle of Britain...

Thanks for looking Gents.
JK, I did a bit of work on the original to bring out more of the cockpit area, without fading the shadows to much.....now I'm happy with it.
