    Great light, angle, and pose. Once you mentioned the O'Toole technique I noticed the repeating elements in the sand, but I probably wouldn't have otherwise.

    Definitely nice light but seems to be too many shadows from different directions. I wont dispute the execution there of.

    The low angle is great Maxis, and, the wings up feet down position is very good also. In many cases the closer wing will fold in, having both in full spread is just about perfect.

    Great job on the exposure in contrasty light.

    Nice low perspective and I like the landing position....especially the lowered landing gear feet. It was nice seeing you at Ft. DeSoto!

    A repeating pattern is not really an indication of the technique per se but really just a shortcoming in the application of the technique.

    The reason I developed the APTATS techniques was to avoid the repeating patterns usually found with an application of the clone stamp of healing brush tool. It is quicker to use and is usually invisible since you avoid normal PS tool artifacts.

    Just try not use the same sample area more than once for best results :-)

    I don't care Maxis I think the detail, eye contact, wing position and overall clarity is excellent, congrats on this image.
