Hi (again) Axel

Depends what you want the shot to be?

As an amateur “snap shot” style record of how low the aircraft was, then the original is fine by me, exposure is good, focus is good, image is sharp, etc.

But, a perfectionist would probably say the “clipped” wingtip can never allow it to be considered a “perfect” shot, and another perfectionist might also say the street-lamp is unattractive foreground “clutter” which should have been avoided. Or maybe if you had positioned the streetlamp towards the bottom left hand corner then it may have looked like a more deliberate inclusion in the composition, rather than “accidental” clutter.

As chip 51 has shown, the lamppost can be removed with digital-processing, but it is then arguable whether the dramatic impact of the airliner’s low altitude is lost? Maybe if the lamp post was removed and “re-inserted” towards bottom left hand corner the image woudl look much better……?

For what it’s worth, I’d prefer the missing wingtip to be there, along with the street lamp, but as a strictly amateur photographer I think it is okay as it stands, as I’d be more than happy to have captured your original image myself.
