What a great image you've taken and processed, your eye is drawn into the image to the guys in front of the light. Really nice colouring too with the use of the warm orange and teal - perfect complimentary colours. And totally say's Aviation. I like that this is a setup shot and not just a photo of a plan in an airshow, this shows skill and planning. I wonder how many other shots you took of this setup, must have been hard to pick just one.

Whether on the ground or in the air, aviation photography can be a truly compelling subject. The romance of flight and the faraway places planes can take us appeals to many, not to mention the aesthetic lines and shapes of the vehicles themselves. Despite this, this is not a subject where you can wing it... Some patience and technical know-how is required, so good luck!

A lovely clean and simple composition, nicely processed and retouched. This image stood out to me. I'm usually not overly keen on photoshopping out things but in this case, it works beautifully. I hope you have a nice big print of it hanging on your walls somewhere. A well deserved top ten image and almost the winner. Well done to you!

Love the concept of this picture and how you came up with the idea to flip the image, works a treat and why it was commended. Just different from all the other aviation images entered. I'd love to know if you planned this shot, especially with the foreground being in the middle and the plane just off to the left.
An eye-catching and powerful image, that deserves a top 10 spot. It was the strong colours first caught my eye and drew me in to look at it closely and read the description of how this look came about. I know how hard it can be to catch a moment like this along with the processing it takes to make sure it's not over-cooked. Well done.
