Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Just one? And it is not a very good picture.. Bad quality, horizon is not level, and it's overexposed.

Maybe your right, but you can tell it an other way. I think it's an interesting picture, from an interesting place we don't see very much.

So for me, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the remarks , i know that the overall quality of pictures posted by many members and enthusiasts are of 'airliners.net' quality but sometimes the weather conditions don't warrant this and not being able to visit Tucson daily its either a go or no-go. I decided in this case to capture this aircraft among others anyway just in case. Many aircraft's are meeting their proverbial end of the road at these places and N718SH just might be one of them. Next time hopefully the weather will be in a more favorable mood. More photo's will be posted under this thread.

If you want to criticise, which we do not object to at all, be precise. It is actually a very well-exposed backlit photo. It has enough sharpness and proper white balance, so I wonder why you call it 'bad quality'. The horizon needs slight fixing and the whole scene may not inspire you, but the latter is a matter of taste, or interest.

Based on the topic title, we do expect more to come, of course. 8)
