Critique Club critique:

Composition/Content: You have managed to capture an image that is difficult to capture. The wing extending to the top of the picture above the clouds and into the blue sky lifts the whole image. It gives the feeling of flying, a difficult thing to do. It looks like you were sitting on the wing when you took this picture. Great composition and nice job of keeping the window glare and reflections out of the image.
Camera Work/Technical: The exposure looks just right and the focus is slightly affected by the plane window, but not enough to take away from the image. It looks like you might have used a filter or it was a very clear day, either way, the result is way above many hazy airplane shots.
Digital Processing: Some artifacts in the blue sky can be removed using Neatimage, which also sharpens some of the edges on the wings. It doesn't really need it but it does improve it slightly.
My Opinion: I love the way the image gives the feeling of lift and of rising above the clouds into the blue sky. Very well done.

I've tried this myself through a plane window with unsatisfactory results. Good focus and lighting.

beautiful. I would have like the blue deeper but still it makes me want to go somewhere!

How cool is that? Did you specifically ask for a seat by the wing/? Nice capture. 10. Great colours and sharpness for a shot through a window (there was a window, righ? lol) Jacko 10

You certainly benefitted from a favorable seat and lighting angle -- glad you were able to take advantage.

As simple as this is, it's really quite an excellent shot. 10. Good luck in the challenge!

meets challenge 100% For millions of people, this is what travel looks like. But, as someone once said, "in art, what is not interesting, is not true". I give 7.

I took several like this flying into Moscow. Glad to see I'm not the only one who love these shots. The clouds are beautiful, like a cushion. The sky is so pristine. And the details on the wings, the end tilted up to compensate, are superb. This is a great shot. Get any coming in at night? Wonderful shot. Wishing you the best. PTL 9

I hope you had fun, or was this work? At least you had a clean window.

Good work - I know your options are limited when shooting through a plane window, but you have done very well. Nice composition and colour balance.

This is an excellent shot of perspective. And it's certainly not on the ground. Excellent well done 10
