I'm just posting a few photos that I like. Any critical commentary is appreciated. I've been considering printing a few and selling at local art festivals, etc. Thanks!

Thanks! Do you think the colors are too garish? My wife likes them that way, but I'm concerned they look a little overdone.Great playing with orange - blue (orange - teal) colors in sky and on the ground or on the ground alone!
I think they are much too overdone but I wonder if you have a clearance to fly at night. Its illegal in Australia. I wouldn't be putting these up anywhere in this country. Its stupid to post illegal images .Thanks! Do you think the colors are too garish? My wife likes them that way, but I'm concerned they look a little overdone.
You can crop them in Lightroom. Try to shoot them the way you want them but if you can't, crop them in post-production. Some of my best-selling stuff was cropped in Photoshop because for one reason or another, I couldn't crop them correctly at the time of shooting. Also, look up "rule of thirds".Great advice - I find it challenging to move the horizon since I can't tilt the camera any further back. Currently, I take 2 vertical exposures and stitch them in Lightroom. Unfortunately, I can't with these as I didn't think of that when I took them. I hate losing any of the sky or ground in these twilight shots. I do appreciate the critique. It only makes for better photos.
Concerning flying at night, I'm only a hobbyist in the US and it is a very gray area up for interpretation. But, due to the ignorance of most people, I don't post photos regularly and will take those down in a few days.
Thanks!

Flying at night a grey area? What planet are you living on? Its as simple as day and night. you are allowed up to 15 mins after sundown. Even us licensed pilots need approvals to shoot at night. Interpretation? Nighttime is dark. You are flying illegally and the photos have already been seen by a lot of people. You are too far for me to care but if you were in Australia, I would be one of the first to dob you in.Great advice - I find it challenging to move the horizon since I can't tilt the camera any further back.

Im sure you realise that if you are going to sell them that is a commercial operation? You say you are not licensed to do that?Great advice - I find it challenging to move the horizon since I can't tilt the camera any further back.

Aluminum and high gloss, yes, that's definetly the way to go, keep that pop effect as you describe it! I think your prices are well balanced, considering the high cost to produce them. Please keep us all posted, your photography is stunning, thank you so much for sharing [emoji2]PhantomAlex and Pharm, thank you very much. I absolutely love the constructive information and appreciation! I am always pleasantly surprised by the breadth of knowledge and discourse the internet allows. Alex, the pricing is a very good question. I tend to like the high gloss aluminum prints, but they are pricey to make. My over saturated colors also look well with high gloss under acrylic, but that is the same price. I'm looking at $70 with shipping for a wall mount 16x20 aluminum print. They look awesome though. I was thinking of asking $100 to $125. An 11x14 aluminum is only $47 shipped, and I was thinking $70ish for those. What do you think? I could do a lot less for a normal high gloss photo with matte, but they just don't have the pop. Obviously, I'm on the fence and can't decide if it is even worth it.
