All very nice! Did you play around with the colors/saturation on some of those? They look kind of surreal. Really cool.

Most of the images that contain a slice of sky were shot using a CPL but I also added a little vignette here and there as well as pushed both contrast and saturation. The first and last also got a touch of Ochre/Blue duotone.

Gotta say I like your eye here. Very fine series and apt titles!

Thanks very much Jim. With all due respect to the automotive buffs here, I've always felt that aviation holds some of man's best attempts to get form to follow function. I thought it would be nice to try and capture some form since all of these aircraft are no longer capable of function-ing.

Great set, but the one that stands out for me is the hinge shot. Well done.:D

Nice shots, Jay. I like the TWA shots.

Thanks very much to all who took the time to respond. It's comforting to know that even the experimental stuff is appreciated! :D
