RE: Rejected For 'dark'... Now That Was Unexpected!

Thanks Mark. If this is an acceptable level of lightening than I am genuinely surprised. To me that looks unnaturally 'brightened'. To me the sky looks completely blown out and the grey of the aircraft looks nothing like the actual colour of the aircraft. But hey, if this is what the screeners sugge...

Thanks for the input guys. Personally, I thought the crop was interesting and unique. The wingtip to me is not distracting at all. But, I'm happy to go with the wisdom of the crowd. It's an easy fix to crop just below the wingtip.
