Comment The angle is slightly unhappy because it leads to one of the rotors overlapping the tail as well as ~~over~~ underexposure of large parts of the underside and sides - the farther landing skid has been reduced to a mere silhouette. This all leads to a snapshotty feel overall imo. Approaching the aerospace industry and military with requests for pictures may yield much better material than this.

- On the other hand the angle is slightly happy because it makes the object 3D rather than 2D-side-on-portrait. It's also from a top down rather than a overhead angle which elevates it from snapshot level IMO. I'm assuming you mean under exposure right? Still plenty of detail there - I'll run the standard suggestion of getting your monitor calibrated. If you don't believe me bump up the gamma or something in your image editor of choice. --Fir0002 13:52, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Great angle. The farther landing skid is not a problem even if underexposed since you can see perfectly the other one. Franklin.vp 15:28, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
