M had knocked off the rookie specter177 in a close(ish) vote 8-5. Now let's see how he fares against his new opponent The Wright Stuff. Your topic is "The first commercial jet flight" (with passengers)..must include the relevant aircraft taking off from the historically accurate location.  Good luck to both of you and your deadline is Sunday noon GMT.  Smiley

I was going to do something a little different, along the lines of a first passenger service for concorde or something, but didn't know how much I could stretch the rules....so here it is.

de Havilland Comet shortly after takeoff at EGLL

I like your shot TWS but i think you made the wrong descision to show the airport for 2 reasons;1 the buildings are not of the era when the comet made its first flight, 2 the lack of Ai traffic.
But a redeeming factor is that the angle is pretty good, it almost looks fisheyed but almost not which i really like.

M your shot is pretty good aswell, the angle is similar to TWS because of the fisheye aspect and i really like a little bit of fish eye effect in a shot.
The clouds are loevely and sharp but also nice and smooth at the bottom, i have noticed that the ground to the bottom right looks a bit blurred and there is a distinct lack of auto gen but its FS9 so what can you do?, one more thing, your water looks far to bright blue IMO but thats down to personal preference.

hope i didnt bore you too much.... Grin
