BTW, Nice photos Alpha, thanks for sharing. (I'm terribly jealous)

You better look for time of day these shots are done.
Then then look for the color of wing, espcially in shadow, if you think it is right.

Then try to learn what is distortion of colors and what is distortion of contrast in each channel of RGB with its result.

Also, interesting how is possible in principle to compare 12:00 on the screen shot with the everning shots on photos (again also with distorted colors) and even when said that there are not final colors and the shot just show the shrapness of the ground from altitude.

But Oleg, surely the distortion is not that bad? I mean, from the SoW shots you have posted, to me the colours look a lot different from the colours I would see in summer. In this sense, even distorted summer-shots look more realistic to me than the ones shown for SoW. I
I know you said the colours will be tuned, but I'm wondering whether the whole palette will be changed?
