A continuous series of photo’s taken from the back verandah, as an airliner turns for the final approach for Hervey Bay, 8 images were used for this challenge. Tone was set and batch processed in Adobe Lightroom .
The face in the clouds is actually in the originals and minor enhanced in PhotoShop.
Each full frame image was Slightly sharpened and noise reduced, before laying into photo, the position of the plane in each layer was then brought through, as the layers added, giving the effect of flight through the sky

Excelleng finish Brian! This challenge really just blew me away with the talent. The creativity. The awe-inspiring photography. To score a 5.95 in this challenge is something to be quite proud of!!!! I gave this a 9, and its definitely one of my top 2 favorites of yours for sure!!!!!! Congratulations!
So, so, so, close to a 6 mate, but so, so good.....
Well done on this result, and you are in great company, as there were sme awesome image in this one, and yours was one of them, IMO.....
I like the imagery. The arch of the planes, especially the 1st one on the left...including the space from the next plane, keeps my eye rolling over the photo again and again. The combination of cloud direction (upper/lower masses)does much the same for me. Your use of sepia tone focuses on the composition that I admire so much.
I see at least two faces. If the face(s) in the clouds is(are)the subject, what is the purpose of the line of jets? They distract me from everything that it going in the sky and clouds. Discounting jets, the tones are very good and your sky is extremely interesting.
Oh VERRRRY NICE! I love the perspective those tiny planes all in a row give this dramatic sky scene. Beautiful work! I do see the face too, and it's VERY interesting!
