    I think it's level! Only the aircraft is unlevel due the take-off

    Nope its not level, if you look at the various poles in the background they all are tilting to the right. I'd rotate the shot .1 or .2 CCW and sharpen it up a bit, should be good to go then.

    Don't get hung up on just the poles. They can be deceiving especially if they are not sitting stright. The trick is the horizon. Look at the picture without concentrating on the plane and you will instantly see how the shot is leaning to the left. Once you get some practice you will be able to look at the horizon and then the buildings as a whole and see how level the shot is without trusting poles.

    That's way too artistic for a.net - looks too dark too!

    Phil equalize the pictures and you'll see the dust spots. I can see them without equalizing the pictures. You have some in the upper right and lower left corners. The one on the lower left is rather large.

    Lower your ISO to, looks like you were shooting in ISO 400 or above. My recommendation for shooting at the Marina, first only shoot there after 2 PM from May to October otherwise the light is really harsh. Second, shoot in shutter mode at 500th of a second at ISO 100 or 200. On a bright sunny day ISO 100 is your best bet.

    Phil, another tip, in addition to what Tommy noted about ISO...it looks like the sky is grainy in some of your shots. When you sharpen the photo, do you select only the aircraft? If not, that can cause you problems with grain in the sky as well.

    Actually, the ISO for those was only 250 (which I used over 100 because I wanted to keep the shutter speed up, especially with the big 100-400 lens)

    Going back to the originals, it looks like there's noise in the sky even without sharpening (sigh); I'll have to try just selecting the plane for sharpening, though. Thanks.

    Since I'm new to the photo processing concept, what exactly do you use to sharpen the photo? Is it just the sharpen tool in Photoshop, or is there something else?
