WINNERS, WINNERS, WINNERS



Judge Mic says :






RAFLeigh!!



...



"I love the colours of this shot...the deep blues and the pale green of the canopy. It's also a very nice cockpit and very realistic, especially the reflections bouncing around the galss. We don't see too many VC shots but this is one of the best Smiley."



CONGRATULATIONS RAFLeigh!!!!







"ManuelL takes a very well deserved second place."


...



"Really dramatic angle and lighting. I especially liked the runway heading off into the distance towards the hills. A very well composed and executed sho."





Third place is for Mitch !


...



"This just had to make the top 3....stunning colours, scenery and selection of aircraft make this shot beautiful. I bet it also took quite a bit of time in recorder to set up, so nice one Mitch. Smiley"


.mic"







Nice work on a great comp!




Judge RAFLeigh is on the bench next week! Congrats to him and the other finalists, and great job to all that entered. Smiley




Cheers

ShaneG

How did you ever manage to get that under 150kb and still have it look that great?! Shocked

I would love to see the uncompressed version of that shot, amazing detail and color! Smiley

Slight use of the high pass filter my friend! Shot was ok before using it. But the filter does give a nice "pop" to the image! In fact, the high pass filter is the only adjustment I made to the shot!

Thanks Shane. But sorry mate I deleted the original along with the other 20 odd I took, when they are just under 5mb each it takes up alot of unneccesary space and the original shot got swept away with them. Sad
