 This was a very tough decision for this free study. I had to decide between several photos and eventually chose this one. I will never know if I was right or wrong in my decisiion, but I do know that I like the picture that I submitted.

This is another F-16 from the 36th Figther Squadron, 51st Fighter Wing, Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea. I shot him as he came in on approach to land, but then began to retract his gear, push the afterburner, and fly over the runway in a very loud display of power.

I was on the north side of our runway for about 30 minutes watching several F-16's and A-10's do this same move.

I hope this does better than my previous aircarft photos....despite the fact that this was expert editing, I would say my editing remained in the context of Advanced, if not Basic. That may have been a mistake in hindsight.....

I think I see a montage, but it is really hard to tell. Either way, the airplane is very sharp and in focus. Good job.

I like the motion blur effect, but not too sure about the slight halo around the aircrafts tail. 8

Nice shot - Like the tones - Nice panning and sharpness - Good stock picture rather than an art piece.
