Grulla roja / Red crane

This season again, Japan Airlines came to Barcelona in a series of charter flights. This year we can see this beautiful Boeing 777 with its new livery ( note the red-crown crane on tail )

The JAL livery is called the tsurumaru (鶴丸) or "crane circle." It is an image of a Japanese red-crown crane with its wings extended in full flight ( source wikipedia ).

This way of framing the plane right in the center, is a requirement in most aviation websites content. In these sites aviation enthusiast or "spotter", upload their pictures up to a queue that is revised before publishing them by a team of judges called "screeners".

Among the different rules preventing a creative processing, the plane must be in center of the frame, with a few exceptions, and only a few processing touchs are allowed: color balance, focus, contrast, brightness and remove sensor dust spots.

The absence of "air" in the photo, or space before the plane takes away dynamism.
Buena toma...y buena explicación...un abrazo

I guess that you are one of the aviation enthusiast. I must have found a place pretty high.
