Challenge: Guess Your Score (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark II
Lens: Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM
Location: up in the air
Date: Jan 26, 2015
Aperture: 8

 Thanks for the comments! Almost nailed the score. Choice of contrast was partly intentional and the rest was achieved using a laptop display. I didn't know that 4 was such a common vote :-).

This could be my favorite kind of photography. Taken somewhere over Austria, during descent to Vienna. I've never seen anything like this before.

tvsometime, I have a couple of other shots in the sequence, but I have no idea how to make a 3D out of it.

My guess would fit your estimate. Very interesting image.

Great overhead. Sadly, I think DPC will not appreciate the view so I predict a 5.2.

That well-defined cloud shelf is fascinating - like a soft downy quilt being pulled back to reveal the pattern on the quilt below it. Giving it a six on a bump. I think your guess is low but not much. Predict 5.6.

Where did you fly to? Nice capture of the cloud cover ending. Interesting snow too. 5.7

about right 5.5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 07:16:48 AM
I like it. I think a bit more contrast and even some clarity would be good and give it more pop. 5.5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 05:34:19 AM
Very interesting but you really have to stare at it to see what is going on.

My guess is your guess 5.332
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 04:23:20 AM
You have made a special effect for the eyes. I give you a 6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 11:44:06 PM
For me, this image is a good one, but one notch below the best images in the challenge. I expect it to do about 5.5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 07:22:14 PM
A not so warm blanket. Nicely seen. 5.4
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 12:02:13 PM
I gave it a 5. Guessing a 5.5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 05:56:50 AM
Super compression pf perspective. I like it more than you think people will, and I think you'll do a bit better - 5.78
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 12:26:31 AM
Nice view of the clouds and the snowy land, could use some more contrasts. 5.1217
  Photographer found comment helpful.

An unusually regular and rare cloud formation from above - I'd love to see in 3D which could be possible if you captured another quick shot. As is, your prediction is probably close and I'll guess a 5.498 if the voters appreciate the rarety of the shot. 6 from me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 11:29:28 PM
interesting aerial view, the cloud part is too prominent in this picture
5 from me and I predict 5.2
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 06:55:07 PM
very interesting shot! how do you take a shot like this out of an a airplane, mine are always distorted from the window? this will score near your prdiction , a little higher at 5.6 Good Luck

 02/05/2015 04:32:39 PM
amazing arial 6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 03:27:17 PM
Too much negative space IMO. DPC: 5.40
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 12:16:18 PM
Wow that's quite a plane? shot! 5.51
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 10:40:04 AM
It's actually a really cool capture. I think 6.1
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 10:17:13 AM
The leading edge. Or, trailing edge. 5.4589
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 10:06:31 AM

5

Is it taken from an airplane? Would score higher than your guess. 5.6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 05:35:01 AM
I like the ominous-ness of this cloud cover.
score prediction is likely close as well.
5.1875

 02/05/2015 02:58:37 AM
regardless of the "photography" of the shot- it is a jaw dropping subject. I gave a 6, thats what I predict, or just below. 5.9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 11:42:17 PM
A 5 from me. Just a little flat for me, needs some contrast. 5.199
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 09:53:40 PM
I like the diagonal division between the revealed and the obscured. (All to be obscured within seconds?) Seven from me. I predict 6.205
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 06:48:54 PM
At first, I breezed by this (pardon the pun) but upon further inspection have discovered much to enjoy. Would like to see slightly more solid blacks... but only maybe. If people don't stop to look longer, you might be correct with your assessment, but personally I voted higher. DPC average: 5.69
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 05:31:56 PM
I voted before looking at titles, now commenting.

I like these scenes live, but it's hard to capture them well.

My guess: 5.21
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 04:54:02 PM
Lots of snow and ice. A 4
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 02:14:53 PM
4.8632 (I gave it a five)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 11:59:15 AM
my guess would be a 4.8 for the dpc, I did do a 5

This is always cool to see from the plane or up in the sky
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 09:32:03 AM
Very interesting photo. Almost like a wave. I estimate the final score to be 5.4
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 05:19:50 PM
Soft clouds and pleasant soft processing. The diagonals (river and edge of clouds) are nice. I gave it a six. I predict 5.3.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 02:46:16 PM
I like a lot the clouds like the rising of the tides and the two diagonals of the composition. The lack of contrast might get you some points down

My guess 5.5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 01:27:46 PM
WOW that's something you don't see every day.
I like how you can see the clouds casting a shadow over the land.
I'm in higher than your guess.
Back to post my guess. 5.43

 02/03/2015 12:52:18 PM
down man sorry I see this at 3.6839.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 09:46:38 AM
Hello, I voted a few days ago, now returning for comments. I think that you estimated your score a little high, I gave you a five but I predict that you will finish at 4,7485
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/01/2015 05:34:55 AM
5 As airplane shots go, this is not interesting except for the transition from snow cover to cloud cover. If the land portion were more fluidly or graphically appealing, then this type of image would, in my opinion, work better.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/30/2015 06:13:50 AM
The Almighty can create some dramatic scenes - wow! Glad you were there to capture this. The hard line of the cloud diagonal lends to the strength of the image. Personally, I would have cropped off more of the top - but that is, of course, a personal choice. Looks good in B&W. Hope you will share a color version after the challenge. It deserves better than your guess.
