Very cool flame effect anmd distance capture. It might be a difficult exposure, or compensation, but I would have liked to see more exposure control in the flame. Maybe a second layer blended with multiply might have brought that out if there's any detail/color there. Perhaps levels too--a bluer sky?
Outstanding shot! Definately the angle of the jet gives the impression of shooting upwards and it is so crystal clear and full of detail. I can almost read the markings. I love the fire reflection in the tail. I look forward to seeing what your camera settings were. A remarkable image.
I love this picture because of my fancy for military aircraft. Great shot. It can be difficult getting good pictures when you are at the mercy of the pre-planned flight pattern of the pilot (assuming this is from an airshow). I like the reflection of the burn on the horizontal stabilizers.
