Some shots from Osh Kosh this year, I've been a bit backed up on my processing! :(

Thanks for looking, I'm always humbled by the quality of shots I see here, but I'm trying to improve, any suggestions greatly appreciated!!

Good shots. but I'm trying to improve, I've seen a lot worse. Wait 'till you encounter prop blur! ;)

I think shot number 1 does it for me. It just looks so nice.

Dont like the lighting on #4 though

If he gets PROP blur on a F22 he is the MAN. I bet I could sell him 25 feet of :) flight line....

these are awesome shots indeed! IMO......i would bump up the saturation a bit and a tad contrast. I think it might give the Raptor a little more "pop" and definition against the plain sky. Nice shots though!

As a former military pilot, I will admit to selling some flight line, but never purchasing any! ;)

Thanks, I will try that, I printed some locally and they lack pop, my monitor is horrible, so I'm always guessing, but I will try your suggestions and see what happens!
