 My 2nd submission. Photo from the Blue Angels show at the Chattanooga Air Show. This was actually one of their slower passes at about 500 mph. I have several outtakes on single planes at >650 mph but I liked this photo better.

Nice capture! I like the angle, also - almost looks like a single 4-pilot aircraft.

this had to be a tough shot. Contrast is on the money. Colors are great. Very clear .Wow

6 - Good shot. Criticism; not sure, but perhaps more of the 'smoke' into the 'composition' may have made this better in my opinion. Difficult given the color of the planes against the sky, but the color of the sky is 'competing' with the color of the planes in my opinion (difficult to explain sorry), so some 'tweaking' somehow, not sure.

Wow that must have been fun to watch, above avarage picture.

Impressive. I would have to congrulate them for flying in such tight formation, and you for capturing it.

nice and sharp! the centered cropping works well for this one.

Great clarity! Nice capture.

Hey, the bottom guy is lagging!
Seriously, though, wonderful capture. Sure meets the challenge, as these are fast birds. For some reason, shots of airplanes may not score too high, just because of the lack of the wow-factor overall. While it is great capture, there are only planes in it and no other objects of interest.
Good luck!

My fav of the airplane shots. The four of them in perfect sync is cool. I'd crop more on the left and leave more vapor trail on the right.
