Hi Nathan,

It was almost dark when the small Grumman landed and taxied in, so the 
out-of-camera image is very dark except where the sun shows through the 
clouds.? It took a lot of work with the LR sliders to get the image to a 
useful level, and then I saw that the low sun angle produced a grainy 
effect in the rough concrete and the silver paint on the plane.? I tried 
a noise reduction tool, but didn't like the artificial look, so I went 
with what I had.? I have received a lot of favorable comments, but not 
necessarily from those who are knowledgeable of good photography.

It was also shot with the X-E1 that I carry in the car, so there were 
not as many pixies to play with. :-)
