Low And Slow

I took this last summer, and have been toying with the levels, saturation, etc. I think I've got it down ok, but what say you?

Hey John, the photo is quite entertaining and reminds me of my time in Rhinebeck N.Y watching the great airshow they put on out there.
I think your color and levelsare fine although there may be a bit much Cyan in this. The tilt does not bother me but some might mention that the horizon could use a slight tweak to the left (CCW).
I would have liked to see the plane a little higher off the ground and into the sky to set it off, but i know your intent was to show how low it actually got to the ground.
A tighter crop might be fun.
Good work, John.

I'll work on that cyan........the sky was a lighter shade of blue that day, and I oversaturated a bit. I do see the horizon's a smidge off. Another thing to correct. Thanks.

I think the plane just has to be above the tree line for this to be a really top end image.

I'll go back into my files to see if I have one.

I'd like to see it cropped closer, check out my website and take a look at my airshow pictures and see if one of those give you an idea. I do have to say that it is your own judgment on most shots, along with being one of hardest things I've ever shot, but prob the most rewarding. (that and I didn't have a zoom past 55mm at the time I took mine).

Thanks for the input Chris. It was my first attempt at an air show. I'm a volunteer at the Kalamazoo Aviation History Musuem, and have been able to do some shooting there. We took a volunteer trip to Dayton last October, and I was able to get in some other aviation shots. Here's what I have on my Flickr site:
