p.1 #1 · Stretched too far?

I didn't grab my GND, nor did I have my tripod to do HDR. I had to stretch a single image in LR2 (love the new GND filter), but I'm not sure if I've taken it too far. General C&C welcome as well!

Thanks ahead of time.

PS This was taken at EAA Airventure this year, for the pilots in the crowd.

I agree. Great colors. Can I see the original just for kicks?

p.1 #5 · Stretched too far?

Thanks guys. I ended up just doing a little touch-up in CS3 to make the highlights on top of the wing and nose agree in color a little better.

Other than that, it was all done in Lightroom 2.

Wow! Got to play with this new filter. Looks very good, and a dramatic improvement over the original. I might lighten the bottom just a tad, but a matter of taste.

Big improvement. Nice job. Good framing. The filter takes it from bland to good. Great would be without those pesky airplaines behind it

For me the sky might be a bit too far with the filter.
