Beautiful photo and your explanation gives me a very perfect reason why I don't want to upload my photos to that sites.
Why should anyone to give an explanation like yours - to a perfect shot of an airplane: "what horizon are you talking about?? the one where the sky meets the sky??" ?:confused:
To begin with, my photos aren't good, but a very few could be accepted, if I wanted to. But I don't want to go by their rules. I do consider myself an airplane spotter, not an artist of aviation photography. Good photo, bad photo - most important is about an airplane I spotted. What 1st thing I don't like about those jetphotos or airliners.net: how an airplane should be squeezed into frame - into perfect center. There are some rules in photography, composition that does not match with rules of those "popular" aviation photo sites. Would I want to "squeeze" let's say a sparrow in a perfect center of a photo and what other nature-wildlife photographers would think of my photo?
Site I do upload my airplane photos gives me a freedom - I could choose what photos I could upload. I doesn't mean, that I'll unload a whole CF card to a site. I do upload mostly 2 photos of an aircraft - a photo from an angle and a photo of aircraft side-shot. If I do take a photo of the same plane, I'll upload only photos of the other side of an aircraft ...or better quality photos of same registration aircraft.
Don't like my opinions - trash me with a reason...I'm nothing against a critique...
A.net and JP.net are not "aviation photography" sites - they are aviation sites with a photo database, and as such, they have a certain style which they look for, which doesn't necessarily coincide with more traditional photography composition recommendations.
