Hi,
I took this picture (with my parents help, of course ) in the early 1990s during the approach to Male/Maledives. It's a scan from paper and the quality isn't the best, though ok considering the age. I know that the acceptance standards for old pictures are lower, but also for window views?
It's the first time for my to edit a scanned picture, so I'd be thankful for opinions and tips for improvement.

I doubt it. Unlike many "old" shots, this shot could have been shot today. You can't tell that the photo is old just from looking at it - it appears just to be bad quality in the average viewer's eye.
But nevertheless, I've been wrong about this type of thing time and time again, so don't take my word for granted.

Hi,
thank you for your feedback.
Quoting DeltaAVL (Reply 3): doubt it. Unlike many "old" shots, this shot could have been shot today. You can't tell that the photo is old just from looking at it - it appears just to be bad quality in the average viewer's eye.
That was what I thought too. But I did some research in the database and found some older, scanned wingviews of DC-10 which were accepetd in 2006.
Quoting ZakHH (Reply 4): If there is any chance to not cut out the lower right end of the flap, it would improve the shot in my eyes. But anyway, I would give it a try.
Unfortunately it's chopped of in the original picture, so no way to improve it.
I think I'll leave it in queue and see what will happen.

Quoting DeltaAVL (Reply 6): And it's top of the day, too! Congratulations!
That's been happening a lot around here. This forum has helped with quite a few photos that ended up on the front page. Yay for pre-screening threads eh?
Good job Stefan! Great shot!
