Actually, that's the Navy's Blue Angels team, in San Francisco for Fleet Week celebrations.
I had to turn quickly while walking to capture this formation, with the older camera at a wide-angle setting -- I actually cropped out a lot more flared sky from the upper-left.
I don't know why I didn't adjust the tilt more ... I was kind of out of time as I think this was shot the day of the deadline.
Thanks for all the comments -- some of them suggest some possible additional editing. |

| Interesting picture. Love the vastness of this pier and its a great trail in the sky. Good colors but the subject seems to be the pier and not so much focus is put on the trails. Still, I like the picture without the title. |

Yes, like the idea, but the vapour trails are not the place where the eye comes to rest - they are incidental. All the leading lines drag the eye off down the pier.
Also check the horizon - falls off to the right. |

| I like the capture for a personal photo in a collection, however as a challenge entry the image does not jump out to me. You have the glare in the lens which is distracting too me. |

| Has potential to be a nice shot, but the lighting isn't that great and the horizon's pretty crooked. |

| Not a bad scene, but hurt by lens flare and more importantly, the tilted horizon. The flare might be lessened by holding a piece of paper or some other diffusing material above the lens to shield the sun. Rotating can be done easily in photoshop or any other image editing program. |

| For me, I don't see the celebration connection in your photo (sorry). Your title refers me to the sky, but when I look at your shot my eyes stay focused on the boardwalk and the bright sun refelctions of the water on the left hand side. Perhaps a different time of day would work better? |

| I like the sky decoration, but I'd most definitely straighten the til of this shot. The water on the left seems a bit "hot" - probably due to the time of day. |
