Oh, I so love your plane shots and the way you get the best out of them. I'm still kicking myself for missing them at Springfest a few weeks ago.

I really enjoy reading through your process. Your processing skillset is fantastic and I'm learning a lot by reading your details. This is a great image.

I agree. Usually I would have used some Topaz Adjust or Clarify to enhance the smoke. This time I wanted to see if I could get something I liked using Detail, since so many others seem to favor it.

I think you did a GREAT job on the plane! The smoke looks a little too blown out and over saturated for my taste, but overall this is a very dramatic shot.

The most outstanding improvement is what you did to bring out the details in the plane. Much better than the original. Thx for the explanation of your editing.
