Re: The "Arty-Farty" Thread.
Martin - you've got some great shots from RIAT, particularly the Gripen (?) exhaust and the Tornado wing detail. Your B+W Mirage 2000 would have benefitted from a great depth of field though IMO, like Chris' shot from a similar position. The focus on yours is too small and too close to the edge of the frame for me - I try to keep the focus somewhere along on the rule of thirds.
Some of mine from the year so far....
One from the archives too...

If I'm honest Dan, I don't tend to play by the rules. My eye is the judge, if that makes sense.
I love your Raptor shot, the clouds seem to frame the subject very nicely!
A few more..
1. Vignetting is maybe a tad harsh I think?
2. Join the crew..
3. Not as arty as the rest, still..
4. Gator..
5. Spang's finest..
6. E 3 phone home..
7. Row of pitots..
8. Tornados..
9. F3..

Indeed - they're your photos and whatever makes you happy is all that matters really, but I think it's still a valid poiint. You've both found a similar shot, but for me yours works better because the focus and depth of field suits the framing better.
#5 in your latest batch is splendid btw.

A few from a bit a dick-around earlier. Not entirely sure if they work or not, but it's all fun and games on the learning curve...
