Waitaki, South Canterbury, New Zealand

Nikon D200
Tamron SP AF 17-50mm F2.8 XR Di II @ 36mm
F6.3, 1/640, ISO-100
All the adjustment was done with Adobe Lightroom.

This was taken through the window of domestic flight (Dunedin to Christchurch) Left side window seat. I took this as portrait framing but decided to crop a little from top and quite bit of chunk from bottom.
The original image out of camera was really hazy because of this plastic double grazed air liner window. I applied high-pass filter technique for sharpening the image to clear up first. Then adjust contrast/brightness and bits and pieces.

I was tempted to use burn/dongle in photoshop for further treatment but I stopped before for avoiding over editing.
