The short answer is no.
Sorry but everyone who has ever been on a plane has one of these images in the collection of holiday snaps.

Decent exposures, but far from original on any level!
One of the things that bothers me about this website is people that make rude and insensitve comments like this. Comments like this are way to common on this website for my liking. It's my opinion that if you don't like a picture and can't make a constructive comment, you should make no comment at all.

who cares that this is a common shot? its common because its interesting :roll: keep shooting!
maybe for him this was unique? perhaps it was his first flight? this view would be very unique for someone who doesnt travel by air.
the mere fact that (s)he posted it means that they find it interesting. so perhaps to you its mundane, but that doesnt mean that everyone else has the same view on it.
but thats not to say that it isnt a common shot.
people dont stop taking pictures of the eiffel tower simple because so many others have done so in the past. what makes this shot any different? i could also link you to the countless thousands of images of it.
Once something becomes familiar does the interest not turn banal?
Again, the fact that is is on public display means that my (and others) opinion on the image supersedes the opinion of the photographer.
i think this is where you and i are making a big distinction. to the photographer, it has merit, but to you it doesnt and thats ok, too.How unique this sight is to the photographer is irrelevant in relation to it's photographic merit. It is how it is perceived.
there are many times when ive posted pictures just to find out what others thought even though their opinions didnt actually matter. its a basis for learning what im doing wrong and how i can improve.Again, the fact that is is on public display means that my (and others) opinion on the image supersedes the opinion of the photographer. If it was merely and image for the photographer, then why post it on a forum.
i agree.... except that i find the sky and cloud formations to be unique. i guess my head is in the clouds :roll:The challenge of a mimetic photographer is simple, make the familiar unfamiliar. There is a difference between shooting the Eiffel tower creatively (or technically) and pointing your camera at it and clicking.
The problem with this image is that no uniqueness or creativity has been applied, a simple case of point and shoot. This is what makes the image "common" not the subject itself. (I appreciate that it is not the easiest place in the world to attempt something original.. chances are you'd get arrested, but that really compels my reasons to not take this picture)
im giving the opposing side just for the sake of doing so.P.S I am not being critical for the sake of it or " to make my self feel good" I just wanted to explain that the image holds little or no interest, in photographic terms. I have shot an almost identical image myself. It is intriguing to fly, and we like to be reminded of this... but not an image to win any prizes, more to remind us of a good time.
