I reckon one out of the 3,4,5,6 range - with the meandering river. I like the cloudy one the best!

Paul, i agree with the above...."clouds" gotta have them....but i reckon anyone of those would be a winner....my pick would be #5....the light on that river, and the sun just over the hill is amazing notworthy.gif

Select your area with the "polygon" tool - but with feathering set from 2px to 8px ... then try "Unsharp Mask" on that selection... generally around 50% at 0.5 radius.

That should pick out your aircraft (or whatever) ... leaving the background/scenery slightly soft in comparison. Lots of good P/Shop tutorials around if you Google for them.

Number three gets my vote, great lighting on the river and also it shows the surroundings up better. Not easy to choose though, and also not easy to get good screenshots when there is not much light. Good shots here so definitely enter one. So one vote for number three!

smooth landings.
