Great photo. Besides the fact that I'm a big aircraft fan, I think this fits the challenge really well.
That's a Grumman Hellcat right? And an F-18. Cool.
No offense but I have never understood what people get out of going to these airshows and taking photographs, the subject just doesn´t do anything for me. Well enough about that. Photographically speaking, this is not bad at all, just not really all that fond of the composition, not bad really but kindof dull and centered, nothing but dead smack in the middle of the frame. Then also I always think images that use too fast shutterspeeds at motorraces and airshows make the subjects seem a bit static. I appreciate the fact that you have a very slight amount of motion blur on the propeller but just not enough for me, wish they were more blurred but at the same time the planes were tack sharp. Think I saw somewhere that an optimal shutterspeed for propeller airplanes were somewhere between 1/100-1/200? Anyway, nuff ranting, not a bad shot, just wanted to explain why I couldn´t give this more than a 5 wich means average for me.
Composition here really isn't doing much for me, I'm not trying to be too much of a "stickler" here cause I can't imagine capturing these beauties was easy. With that said, THOSE PLANES are AWESOME! I'm a sucker for WWII stuff and that Corsair makes this shot for me.
