Very nice pic. I'm no raster expert, but here's a different take on the contrast enhancement. Looks overdone in thumb, but that's opinion - there's still some space at the edges of the histogram. I also smoothed out the sky to get rid of some .jpg artifacts and cropped out the blurry grass.

Wish I could - those artifacts are from the original jpg and they only come out when you up the contrast. I saved at 100% quality from GIMP and the file size is about 4x as large as the original so I think that it did it. Bummer. Score another one for the
376:. Edit 5 is the best of the edits IMO (biased by still!) however it can't fix the underlying lack of sharpness in this picture. Must say I'm looking forward to the 2009 air show! :) -- 527: 40:- McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II is a family of second-generation vertical/short takeoff and landing or V/STOL jet multirole aircraft of the late 20th century. 27: 517: 455: 17: 503: 491: 476: 462: 450: 434: 419: 397: 380: 368: 349: 329: 312: 283: 262: 239: 217: 199: 178: 157: 140: 165:- an impressive sight, and very encyclopedic. I do agree with the above comment that it could perhaps do with the contrast slightly improved. 522: 250: 299:, further to my earlier vote, I support either the original or edit 3. At a push, I would say edit three is the more striking. 148:
The picture is definitely FP material however, I would like to see the harrier lightened and given a bit more contrast. --

The original isn't good enough, and to me, the edits make it look borderline fake (especially the front landing tire).

A very fine image with plenty of "wow" factor. I prefer edit 3 because it has the best contrast.

Yeah, my edit was a quick job, so I'm looking for feedback. As for edit 2, there are

mainly because for me the grassy foreground that is blurred is very distracting.

I'll go with edit 5. Too much compression artifacts in edit 3.

Can you produce a cropped version of edit 5 please.
