This is still v.2 of the image (click for large, v.3 image) but I thought it would be interesting to point out the problems I’m working to fix.

It really does look nice the way it is, but if you wanna get picky (and I do) then you might notice as Dave did:
work 2 do
Also, if you’ll look at the plane’s engine furthest away, the background is washed out (which is fine) but starts to come back in as it creeps up to the engine and makes you ask, “what the heck is that?”
tidy up
And as you can see, we’re merrily on our way to v.3.

By the way, here is the original source image which is simply a snapshot I took with my Canon A80 during a visit to the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon.

I printed version 2 on my EPSON Stylus Photo 1280 yesterday and I gotta say…damn it’s looking good. The print was lying on my conference table when a client came in this morning. When I told her a buddy of mine had done it she was very impressed. I of course changed my tune and took all the credit. ;)
