Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

That chopper 3rd shot is sharp as a tack. Love it. Roulettes also look great.

I agree. The 3rd shot is the pick with the offset treatment adding to the impact.
Very nice Chris

the 1st and 3rd shot are awesome
especially the third, looks like a still from a big budget war movie, very moody.

Great photos. The colour of the helos is so accurate too. Well done.

The profile of the Kittyhawk does it for me though. A beautiful aircraft in it's day and still looks sexy.

Chris, you have done a stunning job with these. Im sure anyone who has tried shooting an airshow would agree! The Roulette's shot and the Squirrell Pair are my picks.
Smile; it makes people wonder what you have been up to.

Ahh yep, in particular the fast jets are hard to shoot. Mind you, shooting the warbirds can be a challenge too - making sure those props arent frozen is always a good thing.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys :)
