meant to tell you what a cool picture this is. the composition is what really makes it - the way you use the whole frame, yet there's nothing extraneous. great job.
09/09/2003 06:52:52 PM
your timing is impeccable, I like it

these planes had me at my window all day, yet i couldn't be bothered to fight traffic to shoot some. this photo makes me wish I had. Nice job.
09/08/2003 03:58:20 PM
...it's an alright shot :)
congrats, Mikey, great job- any other nice shots from the air show?

Hey thanks everyone. This image was taken in Toronto at the CNE (Canadian National Ex) Airshow. They are the Royal Canadian Snowbirds. A very talented group of fighter pilots. If you ever have a chance to see them I recommend you do.

Anyway thanks to all now and in the past who gave me great advice.
DPCHALLENG is a great amature photographers resource.

Congratulations, you deserved the success with the terrific image of the Snowbirds.

Absolutely awesome shot, the timing is perfect!

Says an awful lot about the flyers too, look how perfectly they are in position even following a look like that.

Excellent!
09/08/2003 12:44:21 AM
Super job! Congratulations!
09/08/2003 12:28:30 AM
Congrats on a well deserved ribbon. Love the shot :)

I was in Toronto during the Ex and on my way out of the city there were fighter planes zooming back and forth overhead. Nothing like this impressive, though! Great shot :)

Great timing. Great capture. One of my favorites.
09/07/2003 01:56:00 PM
good composition 8
09/07/2003 08:13:05 AM
Awesome capture. Good framing.... looks like they didn't make it easy for you. Nice work.
09/07/2003 02:24:22 AM
If only the nearest plane hadn't been a teensy bit late making the maneuver you'd have gotten a tiny bit of sky at the top. Excellent action shot.
09/06/2003 09:52:22 PM
Nice job
09/06/2003 01:30:53 AM
This one is a winner for sure. great patterns. great repetition. good color
09/05/2003 04:45:14 PM
Photography is all about timing and you have caputured this just right. excellent
09/05/2003 01:50:42 PM
Clearly the best rendition of repetition in this challenge. My only gripe is the close crop on the top, but I understand it may not have been avoidable. 10
09/05/2003 01:25:35 PM
Probably my favorite shot of the challenge! I may have cropped it a little differently -- either zooming in closer on the planes in a vertical format, or moving it back just a hair so that the contrails at the top aren't cropped out. But this is still a great shot -- hopefully there will be a ribbon tacked to it soon! - 9
09/05/2003 11:44:32 AM
excellent capture. good job on this one.
09/03/2003 04:32:14 PM
Hurray for the Snowbirds!. Great shot. Especially the framing and composition. 10 Morgan
09/03/2003 02:27:35 PM
10/10 very nice ... good luck
09/03/2003 01:19:36 PM
cool composition - just a slight touch too tight at the top though ?
09/02/2003 09:17:37 PM
awesome :)
09/02/2003 08:39:39 PM
WoW!! Of course you will be in the top running -- way to go! 10
09/02/2003 01:26:54 PM
Red arows? i heard that they where in poland with a show 9.
09/02/2003 07:03:48 AM
This certainly is original. The composition is incredible. Just wish you had gotten all the vapor trails in at the top of the image - 9.
09/01/2003 11:56:42 PM
Love the composition and cropping! Excellent sky color as well.
09/01/2003 07:36:28 PM
Definately a good capture, i predict you will do very well in this challenge. Good work.
09/01/2003 04:23:02 PM
can't argue whether this is repetition - precision repetition for sure.
09/01/2003 02:32:31 PM
Very cool picture! Nothing more that can be said about it! - 9
09/01/2003 10:54:33 AM
Beautiful shot, great eye, good timing. Very nice composition. This will make a great print. Very good. Congrats.
09/01/2003 08:22:21 AM
A few pixels higher would be great, to cover all the smoke. Great capture!
09/01/2003 05:01:42 AM
Well done - this isn't at all easy to achieve. Spot on challenge. - 9
09/01/2003 01:01:05 AM
Nice Shot. Perfect having the planes in the bottom left corner. Very good.
