LoudDogComment: 2000 feet above the ground
despite the sharpening, the very upper part of the sky is nice(about 50px from the top down)... the rest of your photograph is completely out of focus.
High Altitude Intersection
I fail to see any intersection in the sky as I also fail to see any intersection on the signs. I assume you were focusing on the signs where is very hard to read with that focus⦠as commented already!⦠Millions of thanks, for the millions of pixels missing - to you for describing what you saw and for the mother nature dear louddog; She MADE that photo... for you to capture beyond your comprehension of photography.
"V" is Viewâ¦
Do you realize the ⦠whatever you assume is the best photography in the world⦠licks and falls to the very right of yours? NO? â
âWe were side by side shooting at the same track from the same distance in the same lighting, shooting the same thing and got practically the same score.
(Note: I know the advantages of having a DSLR and better equipment. This example is only pointing out that you do not need to have a DSLR and fancy equipment to compete here.)â
You must consider yourself ridicules comparing your camera with a 5 times better camera then yours; and for the way you take you pictures⦠that camera, for a beginner would make him a pro! Right! The same camera would not help you!
The Race
Based on the above observations, I cannot consider that you would be ever so close to such an excellent shoot.
LOUD DOG⦠You are so full of it!
The rest is beyond your lousy photography skills.
I may be wrong
