You have produced a clean and very crisp image. The colors are fantastic, and the details are very clear. I think the image would have more imoact with a different crop - to show more of the contrails and leave more negative space in the frame. Just a thought. Well captured though, and beautifully presented.
Sharp image. Motion certainly stopped. The smoke trails lend to leading lines of a sort, and the formation pattern is good. Fun to look at image, should do ok for you. Good luck.
ha! i wonder if this was taken at the same display as the other one? it's effectively dramatic, but to me the aircraft feel a little cramped within the frame; i think a bit more sky would be nice. certainly fits the challenge, and is nice and sharp. it just lacks a certain something... 6.
