love the repetition in this image... looks like there's a bit of a halo around each plane, perhaps an artifact of post-processing... that hampers the clean graphical presentation, but this is still quite a strong image.

I don't know what you've done with the planes, but they look like clip art. The halo around them does this photo no justice at all, and there's no definition in the planes. I'm sorry, but the whole photo here does look a little "manufactured".

Well, it's obviously an incredible capture, the only thing that bothers me is the haloing around the planes, it makes them look like they're glowing. still a amazing shot

Dynamite shot - love the action. Excellent compostion in the sky. The smoke trails are nice, but have a dark haloing around them. As the planes have a slight lighter halo around them. Might need to go back and lighten up on the USM. Otherwise nice crisp, clean shot.

When I give a photo a 10, it is because I feel it is wonderfual all the way around. Therefore, I have no real comment other than to say I gave you a 10!
