Grog is hunting today and sees giant thunderous birds attacking village. Fear not! Grog protects and will kill foul smoke spewing creatures with sharp super pointy stick! Grog is great protector and killer of foul beasts. You thank Grog and mark comment helpful.

Nice sharp image, and I like that you can even see the exhaust stuff (whatever this is)
Despite the fact that the planes themselves are in an interesting position, this image comes off as slightly boring to me. I think its mainly the composition. It is just off center enough to be noticeable and unbalance the picture, but not off center enough to make an interesting composition.
You exposed this image perfectly though, and honestly considering the lighting conditions you pretty much captured it as perfectly as you were going to get under the conditions. 6
