Dark clouds add drama to the performance of a vintage aerobatic team during a recent airshow.

The dark sky does add some drama to the show... however a photo with both planes could be even better :)

Very nice action shot, the smoke tail behind the plane is very impressive.

Very impressive view on this shot! I like the way you caught the plane climbing with the smoke tail path behind it. Very nicely done, the ominious black storm clouds nicely add to the overall feel of power of the old plane. Hopefully those clouds didn't bring in a strom and wreck the air show.

What I really love about this shot is that drama of the curving (the curve is great) white smoke trail against the dark clouds leading to the conclusion of the coloured plane at the end (however the missing second plane would have improved the shot even further)

Definitely an outstanding shot Brian. As you mention the white smoke and dark sky ending in a colored plane makes this a top-notch photo.

Excellent! I really like where you chose to frame the plane. It really leads the eye perfectly!!!

For some reason I thought about that dumb movie Ghost Rider and thought about him taking to the air. This is a very, very good image. I love it.
