Your shot is better than I can do, but may I offer a word or two of constructive criticism. Backlighting obliterates detail. I had to look hard and look twice to see much detail there. Call me crazy, but just a little manipulation with the forelighting and you would have come up with a great shot...

My system: AMD Phenom 9500 cpu, 2 x eVGA e-GeForce 8800GTS Superclocked vidcards (640Mb DDR3 each), Zalman "sunflower" 9700 fan, Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 mobo, 4Gb G.Skill PC2-6400 DDR2 800Mhz RAM, 2 x Sony 20X DVD writers, Thermaltake Toughpower 850W modular p/s, 7 x 120mm fans, Windows XP Home and SP3, 2 x 250Gb Western Digital SATA-300 HDs (1 for apps, 1 for storage and precious files backup), CoolerMaster CM 690 case, NOD-32. Won't run FSX. Locks up a lot with FS9, too.

That is really nice ... it reminds me a bit of Tom's Chinook in payware.

But Homebrewer ( Grin

) has a point though ... a little more light on the subject would've made the shot much more pleasant to look at Wink

I use FS skyworld, it adds a lot of flare to your skies! The clouds i put layers into the mountains giving it a kinda mist foggy look in between them.

OH, YEAH, Harold!! That is absolutely smashing! Breathtaking lighting on that airliner. I dream to do stuff like that.
