 The crew of a National Guard C-130 takes advantage of their aircraft to get a good view of an airshow.

Pre-challenge notes:
I almost tossed this one, but then I asked for some feedback on my potential entries, and this was the shot that stood out to four other people as the best of the bunch. Now I have to see how it will do.

Anticipated critiques:
-The photographer and his camera are not prominent enough. in the scene, or that they are not the main subject.
-grainy noise in the clouds to the left.
-Too dark.

Post challenge notes:
This one kept me on the edge of my seat, staying over the magic 6 mark for about half the challenge. Didn't quite get back over that hump, but still did very well for me. I'm pleased. Thanks for all the good comments.

Oddly sweet, and refreshingly unrehearsed.

A really cool shot Steve - a definite keeper - but I noticed that the faces appeared really orange/red on my monitor and that may have cost you a bit of score.

Should have scored way higher. This was my top pick for the blue. I gave you a 9.

Great subject. Crisp, clean, shot. I don't necessarily like the fact that the guy on the left has his feet cut off though.
