Hi, Viscountdriver,

The pic as posted is too small to comment on....please do what I do......

Reduce your pic to a max of 1024 pixels on the longest side, save as. JPEG then post.....other members may use other methods..

Can't watt to see your Spitfire to its best advantage.

It's a little small to offer any critique I'm afraid, assuming that's what you're after having posted in the Image Critique section?

A wrong crop for me, either show the whole plane or crop to just show more or less the pilot in the cockpit.  Was there a special reason you had to crop it in that manner?

It was no crop. The Spitfire was that close. Anyway the Daily Express liked it they used it and it won a prize in the Thanet gazette.

Needed a wider angle lens then to get all of the plane in for say a photo club competition. Photo's for the press are not necessarily those that would please the judges in photo club competitions. It's a case of "horses for courses", but if you got paid for it that's much better than merely winning a photo club competition since cash is king!  You can't spend prize certificates.

It is indeed, but strange how I remember it like it was yesterday and it's now 3 1/2 years old!
