    Red Arrow - need help

    Chaps

    I cannot decide if this is a keeper or not. I took this on August 19th and been back and forth to it ever since.

    Please put me out of my misery - is it bin foder or not?

    Being ex airforce any picture with aircraft in it is cool but this one to me rates as a near miss

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    Hey Roger, I'll agree that this is a near miss. It is too tightly cropped and it feels that a vertical orientation framing would be more appropriate here. I know its tough while these guys are soaring along at incredible speeds.

    Hminx, Gary,

    Thanks, I still can't figure out why I couldn't decide that for myself.

    Here is one of the better shots. Part of my problem was that I had the 100-400mm on the camera and this was taken at 200mm the first at 300mm.

    Now that one I like, I suppose the bright sun light conditions caused the underside of the aircraft to be slightly too dark,
