Without the title I would just see jets in the sky. I think I would have much rather preferred to see something more recognizable from the movie instead of just nondescript jets.

Cue Music:
Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go
Highway to the Danger Zone

I have not seen this movie in ages but yet I instantly made a connection with your photo to the movie and I hear Kenny Loggin's Danger Zone playing in my mind as you set the scene. Lighting is excellent. Compositionally the photo is interesting for the main elements (the smoke and the jets) are not centered but appear at a diagonal to the rectangular format. Not a big fan of the border for I think it detracts a bit from the action happening in the scene - a clean 1 pixel wide white and then 1 pixel black would be enough to frame it without detracting. I don't know if the circumstances were possible but it would have been absolutely visually stunning if you managed to capture the the flames or engine burn from the back of the jet engines. Nonetheless a good capture. Well done.

Wow! The strong diagonals in this photograph make it very dynamic. Great capture. Assuming it's not too heavily cropped from the original, this would make a great print.

Great work with this shot. Not a big fan of the border, but everything else about the shot I think is great. Composition, lighting. Very nicely done, and great idea.
