I'll say it again, nice ones Paul. Especially the 9th (2nd to last) one, with the hazy shadows over the ranges there...

Alex

[Adamski]

Well ... I love the last one! Nice angle - and great colouring!

[Florian_S]

Awesome! That is one mean looking bird! The last one is the pick of the bunch for me

[Charl]

Like the cropping which places the plane slightly offcentre.
Really interesting sky textures...amazing what the eye will allow:

This a piece out of context from #9.
You wouldn't normally think of this as a sky colour huh?

[Ian Warren]

Havent tried them yet! - yeah not sure about the sky colour yet - but you might get that colour at sunset in the summer??? Its been so long since I have seen any sunset (or any sun) though!

[Bazza]

You've been busy lately Paul. Your shots reminded me of a bit of aviation art, right down to the sky, so I went digging in the archives...

[Naki]

Wow yes - that looks great! - looks like I should try some formation shots - but I have something else planned.........

[Daniel]

Nice shots Naki
Interesting aircraft. Looks pretty solid.

Wasnt that the operational debut (somewhat disastorous) of the Avenger?
