Some really interesting compositions there, I'd love to see the non-HDR versions if you have them available?

I do like the processing which has given impact to a dull day but for me the odd angled presentation detracts, especially the F-16 line up, which in my mind would have been better left the correct level. Well done for braving the rain :clap:

Well I love the photos, I think they are great...... the angles, the editing really makes them stand out.

I have seen some of your other work and it is fantastic!

I agree entirely with Chris, very inspiring treatment to your shots in very testing conditions, but the angle on some is a little distracting. :clap:

Excellent shots and very creative presentation: is it just me who thinks that some of the F16 shots look like screen grabs from one of the better computer games?

Some of these are processed to the point that they dont look like photos anymore... but I think that they really work :smile:

Very different in the look and some of the angles taken. Number 6 is brilliant :clap:
