Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

The first two are not that bad at all! You could try to make #2 B/W. It would be a nice variant I guess.

Okay, it's x-mas, I'm bored and I think you are wrong that these are challenging conditions. So I adjusted the histogram and applied some more unsharp masking. The results should be a lot better if you tried this on your original images. It takes about 15 seconds for each image. Try it and discover that a 2.8 lens is not always needed when the weather is like it is usually in the Netherlands...
