Description Refueling mission over New Mexico this time... The windows in the KC-135 are really old and beat up so forgive the low quality of the image.

Oh geeze. *drools*
I have a thing for flying.
Anyways.
Excellent photo. Playing with the brightness/contrast and color saturation might help make it less hazy, although that may just be the altitude/window you were shooting through. If you cropped this image, I'd do less on the left and more on the right, but it's fairly balanced as is.
Really awesome and well captured photo.

Thanks a lot for the great critique, And i really tried a lot of techniques to get it right... I'll give it another look though. Thanks!

It may just be the altitude and weather conditions. I'd just try adjusting the brightness/contrast and/or the saturation, just a little, and see if it helps at all. It's fine as is, but play around, see if it makes it any better (though it may very well make it worse )

Lol! I thought i read, "but play around, see if it makes it any better (it would be hard to make it worse)"

Probably my subconcience playing tricks on me.

Er. I put it badly. Point I was trying to make was, it's a perfectly good photo the way it is (it's actually a very good photo), but play around and see if you like it better after you try various things. There is always room to improve.

Yes indeed, there is always room to improve. I think i will mess around with it a bit now
