Hi Mark,

very nice shot perhaps a little bit blown out on the whites though and looks a touch light on my monitor.

Colours well caught. Shows perfectly that they aren't just black and white which is how they often appear when in flight. Nits covered but still a good representative image.

Hi Mark,

The colours are better now and not so bright! However you've cropped too much off the left of the frame!
