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

That don,t look like Vietnam , Rambo up to his tricks again in the PNW and your spotting for the Sheriff .

great screenies bud,..no.s 5 & 6 fer me,..love how the hills on either side follow the lines of the BDog

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

Number five indeed!!

Darn..put the worng one in!..but looking at them again I agree ...will change one of my shots but there are some excellent shots there...some of them lot crisper than mine..not sere how they do it so now that I have Photoshop reinstalled will try some experimenting

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.

OK thanks for the hint

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.
