The Red Arrows

When I finnally manged some time out to photograph in the snow the weather was not good. At a kite feeding station near to work the fog / cloud came down and conditions were poor. However I quite liked this group which were flying around just for the hell of it (or so it appeared).

An amazing sight irrespective of the conditions. I love they way they are all banking together.

Well captured Robert love the formation and the colours

Getting these kites in a "synchronised" turn is well spotted, Robert. Normally they're at all angles and directions and it's hard to make any compositional sense out of the patterns. Good timing!

Super Robert, something different and love the formation - well done.

Stunning and interesting shot Robert!
Like this a lot !

That's a good capture Rob, like it.

Well caught

Hello Robert.

Good capture and formation.

I might have just liked a little more room in front and a little less behind.

Hi Robert

Love almost everything baout it apart from the man made structure at left which I feel detracts a little. Otherwise a strong pursuit picture

Andy

Formation flying at it's best - great capture Robert

As Mr.NatGeo says, the dark OoF object on the left is a tad distracting - I'd clone it out and perhaps add a touch of extra canvass to the left too.

Deserves more than 9 comments, so here's no:10

this is an excellent shot i agree with Andy A, a little more space to the left would finish it off nicely

Thanks all for the comments. The dark object to the left is actually the end of a hedge. I shall try cloning it out. As for space the image has been cropped at the right as there was one Kite which was trailing 'out of formation' so I dont have any to the left I must get on the phone to Mr Astbury and take him up on his offer of a lesson in adding canvas.
Once again, thanks for the constructive comments.
Robert.
