#1: Excellent shot, the best out of all 3. Good lighting, positioning/composition and balance.

#2: The top 2/3 of the shot are pretty good. Would be better if the bottom were cropped a bit to center the plane a bit more, its a bit crowded as it is now. But it has no good lighting like #1.

#3: The worst of the 3. The sky looks fine, but the ground takes away from it all. The plane is a bit too dark and dull.  However, the angle of the plane itself is good, but the background needs to be changed. Finally, the lens flare circles simply kill the shot.

If anyone is semi-serious about screenshots, it is advised to NOT use lens flares, both in game or edited. If you must use it for light effects, use it lightly, and make sure you dont have any of those ugly extra circles.

Thanks for your comments.  I agree with everything you said.  I think the first also looks the best because it was the only one that i didnt have to compress.  I think the third one was bad because i was too focused on the sunrise and didnt pay enough attention to the ground.

And here is the paint:

Its part of the exported package.

that water just stands out like a sore thumb in #3... i really liked the other two, but took me some time to figure out what the red patch was...
