Opposing Solo

Vaporized

Not hating the tilt Scott but I think it would be more dynamic if it were tighter.  Make the jet loom over the viewer a little more (maybe...)

[Scott Youmans]

I think you're right Jay.  Here's a more tightly cropped version.  We used to have an expression when I worked with the graphics folks at GE which was "Crop the crap out of it".  I think that was applicable here.

IMO, that's much more intimidating and effective...

[Scott Youmans]

Jay, Agreed! Thanks for the suggestion.

[Scott Youmans]

Here's one with a touch of Welkerization.

Welkerized For Your Enjoyment...©

Catchy!  

[Scott Youmans]

Jay, I thought you had coined that or a similar expression a while back.  Maybe it was "Welkerized".

Fixed my post...

Chris, I like your "Mystified" shot. It's almost spooky the way it's shrouded in mist and looks like it's going to be swallowed up in clouds.

True, but I also liked the detail in the first one of the two wingmen in the background with the taxi lights on.  Kind of a bummer you didn't have the room to rotate and still get them in frame.

Interesing... I didn't even notice them in the original crop.
