 The Red Arrows RAF display team in action against some ominous clouds. Not the more usual coloured smoke trails shot, this came out of the camera with a much more brooding look about it.

Noise reduction & removed dust spots. Softlight layer to enhance contrast & a dab of saturation on the red.
Convert to sRGB and save.

Popular subject in this FS, but this is my favorite. The composition just really works well for me.

Nice composition and colors. The planes are a bit over-sharpened imo.
