Corsair at dusk

i have been told before by people that there is just too much black

in the picture, but i still like it for that same reason. What say

you?

ratings, comments and critique are welcome, and the latter of the3

are of course appreciated, no matter the nature

Personally, I like it this way!

Its called a SILHOUETTE. Tell those people to look the term up - and then show them this picture, an excellent example of one, and very approporiate, I think! Good work - and in the end, remember - ITS YOUR PHOTO!

As you already know, Dan, I like this picture. But one reason I like it is the little bit of light on the starboard wing, and I can see there are faint traces of light on the port wing and the white of the insignia as well. If those could be brought up just a bit, I think it would take on a 3D quality that I personally would like better than the pure silhouette.

 

Incidentally, I saw this particular Corsair last weekend. What a beauty.

 

I like that photo. Leave it alone and be happy.

The only thing that bothers me a tiny bit, is the sky being too dark. This however is only my opinion.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

 

August, one reason i did not brighten it up is that if i brigthen it, everything gets brightened and i think it looses a litle of its 'prescence', of justting out into the frame.

Yeah, I know what you mean Dan. I was working on my Bearcat pic like this that you commented on, and it is very difficult to manipulate it so that the blacks stay black, but the almost-blacks are lightened just enough. The only way is to use the "curves" function which takes a lot of effort to master. This is really fine as is.
