    yocca, Thank you :-) It was amazing to me that something so beautiful could come out of something so devastating.

    Thanks tee, one of those images that just jumps in front of your lens. I stared through the window the entire flight.

    That really is an amazing sight to see. The colors are amazing. Having said that there are problems with the photograph. The engine is obviously the biggest distraction here and should be cropped or cloned out, as should the window. The reflections are annoying as well but I think that you could remove them as well with a little work. Other people are sure to mention the crokked horizon too. There are problems, but they are all correctable.

    A stunning picture in terms of colour and texture, but the engine and dark lower left corner are too distracting for me.

    problems: the engine, the window, the reflections, the contrast....

    technical skills: bought plane ticket, put camera next to window, snap.

    I agree with gypsy girl, and the suggested cropping would improve.

    I think it's a little bland...the bottom left corner really kills this photo

    Taking photos from planes can be really fun. I do it all the time. But there is a certain predictability to them. Clearly the place you are flying over is beautiful, but that alone is not enough to warrant a saveme photo.

    I, too was impressed with the beauty of this area of the ocean while vacationing in the Bahamas.

    However, the image quality is poor (viewed large it's even worse) and the composition problems noted above are glaring.

    Mercy deleteme please ...

    The DeleteMe group chewed it up and spit it out, but I like this photo. That's fascinating, all that sand.

    it's sad that such beautiful colors, shapes and textures come after hurricanes...!
    wonderful!
