Wow. Amazing color and clarity.

I'm not an air shooter but I wonder about the clipped right wing, was this a crop?

Thanks...

Slight crop (due to a slight rotation counter clockwise) but pretty as shot.

That is a great air to air image and IMO a wallhanger at that

That was a great meal ~ you must have a good set of pans

It's a beautiful shot, as usual, Jay; but the 'weight', personally, just feels really off to me with the combo of the clipped wing and the number of planes on the one side.

I'd love to have the chance to do this type of shoot!

Considering the size of the opening in the back door in the Skyvan you had to shoot through Jay, this shot is simply awesome !!

Lovely shot, Jay! Are you going to tease us with a new one every couple of days?
