I went on a cross country with some friends today, and here are two of the pictures I took during sunset. What do you think of them?

Cockpit

Wing


I also took this shot, which I absolutely love and want to share, but it's got nothing aviation, unfortunately.

Amazing Sunset

... and the Huge version

I think the first's in for a motive rejection... maybe you can crop out the microphone and the face on the right side. Although, I think even then there's something awkward about it. A straight-on view would have looked nicer... Have any of those?

The second is nice, and I hope it can make it in. I see some grain on the wing though.

The sunset shot is absolutely gorgeous... excellent work!

First one won't make it - its a motive rejection.

I can't see the second one making it either. The clouds and sunset are not speccy enough for me.

They are both nice enough but im not sure either will make it.

the first definately wont in my opinion, the second has more chance but i still think it would be rejected on grounds of motiv.

Sorry. Nice shots for the personnal collection though, have them printed and stick them on the wall!

I agree with Mike here. Maybe you could try with a better crop. Leave out the face and the window frame on the right. I believe it will look nice.  yes 
The wing view looks awesome. The clouds and the colours of the setting sun give a wonderful atmosphere. However, I don“t know if it will make it because it looks a little too dark.
Great sunset shot, too!  thumbsup 

Cheers!

Thanks for the thoughts, everyone! I'll try cropping the cockpit shot (It didn't occur to me that so little of the face was in it).

I do have a straight-on shot, but I'd have to crop out two people, and also it wasn't nearly as strong, as it was just an orange sky, no sun.

Any possible edits to try on the wing shot?

Thanks!

Jeremy

I cropped out the headset and edited the color a touch, and was left with [url=http://jkwd.com/airliners/120306-bed-sfm-lew-bed/n280nd-cockpit-sunset-cropped.jpg]this shot. I think I'm going to try it... any reason not to?

Thanks, Nicolas! Could you tell me how to show the linked image? I messed up the link to the image, but never did find out how to show the actual image itself.

Thanks,

Jeremy
