i've been away a few days....

i must have taken sixty shots or more of the airport....these places have so many interesting opportunities for photos....

i have astigmatism and at times it can be troubling on the crop...

any suggestions?

I really like it and find it interesting, makes me want to travel. The lady in the upper right is a little distracting.

Is that a plane in the background on the left or just a model of one inside the building? I didn't really notice the woman but found the plane a bit distracting.

Great contrast. you definitely have an artistic flair. While I was scrolling down to leave a comment I happened to notice that when the top of the picture was cut of just above the first seats it creates another great photo (maybe crop it and see what you think). Of course thats what I see, I am a beginner so keep that in mind. I really like the photo, sorry I can't give any constructive criticism.

Looks like some type of model jet to me. Seeing how it is an airport I thought it fit it very well. Then again I thought the lady to the right, and the 2 people sitting in between the windows added something to the shot also.

It is big enough to notice but I found it too small and distant to add to the shot. I would rather not have it (and see more of the planes outside the window) or have it much closer. However, I imagine most airports don't take well to people rearranging the furniture

I really liked the plane. I thought it added a perfect hidden touch. I get the feeling you're waiting a long time in this airport, almost alone. You have a friend off in the distance and there's another plane leaving without you. I bet you could make the plane look like it was real with some subtle clone brushing. Remove the piece of stand holding it up and make the bar from the window go on top of the plane.

it takes another eye (or three) to note the details.....

i honestly never noticed the lady or her companions...either at the moment of impact or in post....the plane, however, is one of those happy accidents...i reckon, it came in for a landing (or wait, is that a take off?) just for my shot......

thanks all

I really like the shot! It is funny what people notice because when i looked at the picture i never saw the woman or the plane (model?) I focused on the chairs and i thought wow! I would never think to take that picture! I saw the hearts on the back the chairs. Now maybe I was being sentimental because it was close to my anniversary

but it made me happy! Funny how a picture can do that.
