Not happy with this score, but this is what I wanted the image to look like, aside from the low-contrast background.
Blue Angels. Panned on the lower jet, continuous shutter to catch the passing jet (top). Taken at an airshow in Horsham, PA. Edits: Neat Image, Levels, Hue/Saturation, Curves, border added, cropped, Unsharp Mask. Had this been a member challenge I would have dodged and burned the clouds and maybe selectively lightened the jets to add interest to the background.

I think the picture would have been stronger if the aircraft were still approaching one another. |

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. Great pic. I think the problem is the title does most of the work, now if the title and the photo went hand in hand... this would have done much better. |

It is too bad the top plane came out so blurry. That really hurts this otherwise nice picture. |
