Love it - the photo lives up to the poster framing you've given it - it looks like something from an airshow souvenir stand. I also like the crop as-is (on 8/20, that is). -Ed Hahn

This shot is great!!! It fits the theme perfectly, there is nothing you could do to this shot to make it any better. Awesome work!!!!

Oh ok, I gotcha now. Thanks for the clarification. I guess I have had the rule of thirds beaten in to me for so long I dont even think about centering the subject in the frame. ;-) I will sure give it a try when I get home tonight though!

Thanks!

What I'm saying is that I don't personally like the uneven cropping. I think it would be better as centred as possible. This kind of crisp, sharp, perfectly focused, motion frozen shot benefits from perfect framing in my opinion. My previous comment was probably hard to read, i was saying i was put off, by the 'off centre' framing. Try it and see maybe? - Jono

Thanks everyone. Jono - what do you mean? There is certainly MUCH more open space to the left of the aircraft than the right. Do you mean in the vertical sense? I can go back and try to crop some from the top and bottom. I wonder if that might put the wing tips too close to the edge. I'll try it out though! Thanks! =)

Great shot, very crisp, but I can't help but be put off by the off centre framing of the aircraft. Each to their own though, some may like it?! - Jono

Looks almost surreal - or like model-planes - they are so incredibly close! Nice shot! --Olaf
