    Low Flying Jets
    Here's another from my little Lumix camera, from the new Air Force Memorial in Arlington.
    Comments and critiques welcomed. Suggestions cheerfully explored, but leave the editing to me.
    :cool:

    Funny CL ... Not sure that the background is perfect but I like the model planes. :)

    Overall, it's kinda neat. However, IMO I think it would have looked better if you would have waited til the sun got a little lower.

    Thanks for the comments guys. The planes are etched into a thick pane of glass. I have attached a similar picture with the sun slightly lower. This was kind of a weird shot as the sunset was reflected off of a polished granite stone and then reflected again into the pane of glass which the jets are etched upon. I thought it was neat ~ might try to go back for the same effect with the big camera. I will take your suggestions into account when I re-shoot.
    Thanks!

    I like the effect of both of these photos. This is a glass panel in the middle of the open area I would guess based on the opposite side (l-r) of the 'jets' we see in the two images?

    The first is currently my preference as the jets seem to be coming at me more and I feel more involved with them as a result.

    Sunlight at different angles could be exploited in many ways with these. The artist I bet had those very effects in mind!

    Nice shooting!
