At the launch of Kenya Airways' new aircraft and colour scheme...

Taken at a Kenya Airways Boeing 777 launch. I thought I'd try andspice this one up a bit in PS. I kept it simple though, only adding azoom effect.

Does it work?

If you rate my photo, please be so kind as to add a comment on why you rated it the way you did. This is especially directed at those who rate low.

I would hope we're all trying to learn and improve, so there's little point in giving a low rating without saying why, or sugesting possible improvements.

Thanks

The zoom is fun. For record the photo in its original state would have been fine. But, to make that shot into a photograph, I would have taken another shot with the three fellas out of focus, and focused on the main subject, the big bird. To make the composition a little more strict, if u had moved a little to the right, Henry's head would not be in the Pratt and Whitney? intake..Then one stop down for more harmony of shade and light, plus richer color. This also then gives less over-exposed stuff, ie paint and shirt.

Hi Thomas :)

Thanks for so actively critiquing my images. I very much appreciate it! As for this shot, I took it using a tripod and self-timer. At the time, I was very much just learning the bells and whistles my camera had ;) I was mainly using the 'Program AE' mode and AF - yes, kinda cheating I know :)

Thanks very much for commenting! Best regards from Kenya, Mark
