Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

I love the first one Steve.

Kinda reminds me of the beginning of Top Gun :lol:

I agree with the other posts ...

I like the first one. nice colours behind the silhouette. The second is pretty good too. Nice colours and nice line. All in a row.

Very nice selection of photos. The first is fantastic, but I also like the framing of the second.

Number 1 and 2 for me. Nice composition and reminds me of the photos on the Defence website. Don't suppose you shoot for them as well do you? :)

The first one is definately a winner, I love the lighting but I think what really makes is the old and the new, without the old planes in the frame it would just be a nice shot but with them it is special.
