One of the issues I run into on clear days are sun spots. This happens when the sun is in the best possible location for photographing, directly behind me. A lot of the times through the view finder I can see the spots coming and quit shooting. And sometime I still keep photographing. Most of the sun spotted photographs don't make it past the first round of triage.
When photographing prop aircraft, a good result is never a guarentee. So sometime you just keep one that will never been seen.
Until AI.
I've never been able to successfully remove sunspots, until AI.
In the closer aircraft, the fix is really good. In the far aircraft, the fix is good enough.

Have you tried a Polarizing filter? Takes a little fooling around but generally works on glare such as this. Nice shot!!

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried a CP with no luck. It helps, but the direct on angle still leaves a burned out spot.

Good use of AI.
For this image, I would only blend in the corrected sunspot on the pilots faces and leave the rest of the original in place. The AI image overall is less detailed and loaded with halos. The quality of the original, less the sunspots, is much better than the AI generated image.

I never thought of that - thanks! Back to the 'dark room'.

Yes, I use AI as a tool, but fear when it is used and it take creative command beyond my instructions.
