Amazing shot Mees... if I only had to change something, it would be the repaint, as it doesn't look like the best...

Yes, that would also be my only crticism. Great shot!

The horizon angle is annoying, the paint sucks, and it isn't the most original shot I've ever seen. Sorry, but it really is not a great shot, just another boring TNCM approach.

Classic a.net shot Shocked

Yep, it's 'another' St.Maartens job but it's a good one IMHO.... can't imagine it being much better as an FS shot.... if going for total realism it would be better without the people and with some waves on the sea, but I like trying to make FS look as real as possible, with it's limitations... the FS people standing and looking are a charming touch - they seem almost alive

Not very realistic. Why? The Air France plane isn't as dirty as real life. Angry

Nah just kidden. Good shot. Only suggestion I have is more clouds, morning landing (lighting) and maybe a diferant livery.

I'd try blurring the people and changing the water. Apart from that, it's a nice shot.

It didnt really stand out to me in any way. It is sort of a boring shot. No morning or dawn lighting, no harsh weather. I think the shot might look better without the people in general. When you see the people, it dawns on you that its just a sim. When I look at a shot, I look at the realism and whether or not it looks like a photo. This shot just didnt seem like a photo to me because of the repaint, people, and water.
