Thanks for the comments .

The toning was done in a bit of a hurry so that I could e-mail the image to someone who was with me when I took the photograph.

I think I will have another go at it, when I have more time.

Back in the 1940's, I guess that Spitfires took no notice of signals

I think you are right - it is Hipperty who does all the real work

It is as taken (no cropping) and I decided to leave it alone, so that the Spitfire had some space to fly into.

I shall try a crop

I would not disagree with you.

Someone with good photoshopping skills would probably 'cut out' the plane and paste it in the optimum position.

I was just pleased to get that classic silhouette.

I never realised just how fast a Spitfire is until I tried photographing one

Most of the time I just got empty sky and then in a flash it was gone

No - because whatever can be achieved with a bridge camera with a huge zoom, a better result could be obtained with a DSLR with a long lens (zoom or prime).

Most people are always looking for better (part of the human condition) and the reason most keep on upgrading.

Well a leading line to me is actually an imaginary line drawn between two points, such as a chimney and a church tower, used to guide you into a harbour, missing all the nasty bits.

But I guess that karma mechanic is thinking of the photographic term
