I know the rule of thirds, and I know it's better for the subject to be entering the scene rather than leaving it. The close-up macro of the fly is excellent, I'm hoping to do as well with my new lenses on order. I personally think this is exaggerated, meaning too far from that vertical third line. I could be wrong, I interpret the rule of thirds as the place to center the subject, and it looks like you've placed your subject completely within the top-right third box. I still give this a 6 for clarity, detail, and deep rich colors.

Hi Tome!
Actually I did. I work UNICOMs for air shows in California (so far) and this one was on the Catalina Island. I met Vicky Benzing and gave her this shot as a Windows Wallpaper. I also have many of the pilots and performers on my email photo list. Thank you for your appreciative comment. My favorite photo subject is aircraft, mostly helicopters and they present quite a challenge. Getting the rotors or propellers properly blurred means a shutter speed at about 1/80 so try a panning shot at that speed and see if you get an acceptable, sharp photo. My best made the MD Helicopters calender and the wall of the Fresno Co Sheriff's airborne division. But DPC'ers mostly vote my aircraft photos down and I find that frustrating. Like a fine wine and beer, it's an acquired taste, or an ingrained fascination with flight. And photography.

Avalon's show is unique that the airport launches the show aircraft, but the show is off shore outside the Avalon Bay 5 miles away where I can't see them, so I don't get the aerobatic performances like I do at the other shows, like Marysville.

BTW, my photos of this event are posted at //photo.sagerquist.net/UNICOM-AVX-Oct2014.html
