Well it's not Canadian Geographic and it was tied for first with 4 other submissions but this area has a number of very good photographers whose work is regularly published in the local paper. So just being in their company is quite an honor for me. C&C welcome.
This is photography at its best.
I know what you mean, having been in photography in the Ottawa area for over 50 years -- National Film Board photographers, Youseff and Malek Karsh, Ted Grant, John Joosten, the Ottawa Camera Club (one of the oldest in North America) -- just to name a few. What an environment to learn in -- all positive approach teachers.

This is a great shot!! I wish I could have gotten a picture like this when I saw them at my first air show here at the air station in North Carolina! They gave an awesome performance!

I wondered if anyone would notice...yes, he is in line with the rest of his mates but a bit too far to the right as we look at it. Thanks for looking.

What can one say, composition, contrast, focus, colours all spot on, now I hope you will be sending it to flight magazine
Thank you very much, JR1! I'm still building my confidence in my work (I really am my own toughest critic), so a positive comment from you means a lot. I hadn't thought of the flight magazine, so thanks for the suggestion.

Awesome shot. You can be very proud of yourself. Have you tried it in black and white. Feel it would make the aircraft stand out particularly well. Just a thought.
Thanks you Jomak1. I had not thought of the B&W option but I do agree that it is worth a try. Thanks for the suggestion and the kind words. Will try to post the B&W version before I head off for today's shoot at the Comox Valley Exhibition...it seems to be "Fair" time British Columbia!
Thanks again, much appreciated.

So true, Pierre. The bar seems pretty high but as you noted, it is a great environment for learning and looking for improvement. Thank you for your encouraging words and positive comment!
