The hornet wins it for me hands down, but I do really like the shot of the helicopter.
It's a pity the parachutist didn't turn the flag around for you..... very inconsiderate
Looks like you had a great day.

Very crisp, very sharp
May I ask what equipment and what technique you used.
Also out of curiousity: have many shots, how many keepers ?
Regards,
Christian

Christian, Canon 20d and Sigma 80-400 OS lens.. did not take my flash or mono pod - not needed..available light was good. 250 shots for the day and there are just over 200 in the folder..but how many car shots can you be bothered with?

Some great shots there - nicely framed and very sharp. That Sigma 80-400 seems to perform very well!
The F/A 18 stands out for me though (first one).

Big V,
Excellant Hornet Shots!! Well done, very sharp, I am impressed also with the blue sky, did you use a CP filter?

Big V - super shots. If I had to select one the Hornet does it for me
.
Did you run into BBJ and TassieD (Dave) today

Some lovely shots,
have you considered flipping the skydiver ? If you get the mirror image the flag won't be backwards, it might make give the shot a little more punch ?
The hornet shots are great, very sharp!

Love the hornet! Definitely worth printing out in large format.

Some good shots there.
One thing that I would do is horizontally flip the parachutist - just to get the text in the flag the right way around.

Great images. Aircraft are very interesting to photograph and you have done exceedingly well here. The hornet is sweet.

Very nice indeed.......
I reckon these are much better than shots of the cars. Not putting down the skill to capture the cars, just the content.
Love quality photos of fighter aircraft flying.

Alpha, it is ok, I understand you were only thinking about how to make the picture stand out even more
I am too honest, otherwise I would be an advertising photographer
