Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Took these a couple of months ago on approach into Sydney - I was trying to get the shadow but the flare was a bonus!

I don't get why the shadow is so large.

I would have thought that being this far from the Sun, the rays would be more or less parallel and so the shadow should be the same size as the plane or only slightly larger.

Yup - There were a couple of layers of clouds with lots of gaps to let the sun in, I have to wait for the right combination of a break in the clouds above to let the light in, and having the clouds below to show the shadow.

Thanks again for the comments.
