Hi! I'm really new here, as well as in photography. I only have a couple of point-of-shoot cams and I really want to explore them more and see what they can do. I'd appreciate any comment regarding this photo. Thanks! ü

Have you post processed this shot? It looks very orange, like you had the white balance set incorrectly on your camera. The horizon looks pretty crooked. What was your intention with this photo? Were you trying to show the wing or was that just where your seat happened to be? Were you trying to capture the three tails? Or were you just trying to show the back half of that plane?

Hi Sterling! Thanks for the feedback. ü

Yes, I post-processed this photo (I'm very new at that as well) and decided to went for this as this was the setting where the tails' colors popped out most. The quality of the original photo was poor as it is because it was early morning and the window of the plane I was in has a bit of fog and moisture, which appeared like blotches. I meant to photograph the tails but had to do it very quickly as we were still moving from landing and yes, I was seated over the wing. =(

I guess there are just some photos that you cannot 'save' when a lot of things that are supposed to make a good photo are going against you. LOL
