THE TOOTH

This picture was taken at a BBQ I was at over Memorial Day Weekend. The Naval Base near me has their annual air show, and my friends yard is the plane turn around path. It was about to rain, so the sky was cloudy and getting dark. I think it adds to the photo.

Looks good TT and what a luck :thumb :thumb Eating BBQ and shooting the Blue Angels too :clap
It is sort of dark and I think a little post processing with levels/curves would really make those planes stand out :D

I'm not really good at post processing. I'm still learning to take photos. LOL!
If you wanna mess with it and put it up, go for it. I'd like to see.

Nice formation and way out of my league. Would be interesting if cut to a vertical IMO, but thats just my old eyes at work.Danny.

Here's a quick attempt with only small image, very low res, image to work from. I used shadows/hilights to bring the brightness down a lot and the shadows up a bit. Brought up the midtones in curves and a small amount of sharpening (USM 50%. ,3, 0)
