This is probably too simplistic to do well in the "Best of 2010", but I still like it. I like the pilot looking straight at the camera, plus it was from my first ever air show. I predict a 5.0 - 5.25 score.

This is really fantastic. The clarity in details in not only the plane, but also the pilot's face is fantastic.

Great technicals on this shot. I especially like the fact that you can see the face of the pilot.

I like that you have the right shutter speed for the propellor...
