Woke up and looked out the window over the pacific on the way home to Melbourne from St Louis. Took a bit of editing to get to this, those grubby aircraft windows are terrible to shoot through.
Photo matrix, curves, levels, lucis sculpt, noise reduction, hue/sat. different WB for sky and engines using masking, burning.

About an hour of voting to go and I'm blown away, 6.9, my best FS score! Thank you for the fantastic comments. I though the noise, haloing and high saturation was going to have this shot struggling. Fingers now crossed for a possible top ten finnish.

Ahh... this could be... might be... is it? I suspect so... so I won't vote on it unless I find out otherwise...
Excellent colour and composition... and the details are great. Might be hurt by the noise and the haloing, but I quite like the effect... I'd give this a 7 or 8 (if I was to vote on it). Bet you it'll do better than my FS entry. :)
Way to make use of the engines. A shot of just the view would be lovely, but the engines somehow complete the photo for me. I'm not a plane buff or anything, it's just a compositional/interest thing I think.
