 English Electric Lightning (more here) based at Thunder City in Cape Town. Taken an airshow at the South Africa Airforce Test and Development Centre near Bredasdorp. The airbase is about 30km north of the sourthern tip of Africa at Cape Agulhas.

This is the first airshow I have ever attended ... with a camera. The weather was awful with high banks of white clouds. In addition, the runway runs almost due East-West. So the sun was always on the otherside (north) of the aircraft.

But fun anyway.

Sheryll was right...a little bland. A digital skyline or something in the background may help. You don't want to get to detailed with the back because it will detract from the plane. Good luck.

Its sort of a bland shot. You might try to spruce it up in photo shop by adding a sky background and maybe increase the brightness just a bit for the plane. It seems a bit dark. I like the angle of the plane and this certainly has potential.
