Thomasa, this is a beautiful photo. Clarity and color are great. #37131Thomasa May 26, 2019
Thank you so much. I was experimenting with different angles as part of the Beginning Photography class offered on this site. The low angle helped eliminate the ground clutter, but also strengthened the photo...what better background for a pilot than the sky. #105040Jim Miotke My Courses May 26, 2019
Hi Thomasa,I just wanted to reiterate... this is a wonderful illustration of what an unusual point of view can do for a portrait. Shooting down on someone often makes them look small, unimportant, and even humorous at times. Looking up at your model causes them to appear more impressive and strong. Again, great job with this assignment! #108533

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
