I'm with Maria on this one. The fly is lost in the frame, and was almost the last thing I saw. Perhaps this was your objective - in which case you succeeded. I found that the first things that I focussed in on were the red flowers and the dog's face (once I realsied that it was a dog!)

As it is, I'm afraid that it doesn't work for me. Would it be stronger if the poo and its associated fly were in the line of focus further left on the boards and so further away from the strong highlight?

Another nice set. I particularly like Nos. 5, 6 & 9.

I was at the Wings & Wheels show at Dunsfold last weekend (Saturday only) and I didn't see a single Pentax, only the normal array of canikons, a single Sony, and lots of phones & tablets pointed at the sky! However, judging by the number of different images posted up from the show over the last week there must have been plenty of us there. How many where there?

Maybe the reason that I didn't see any was just because I was up at the extreme end of the flight line in the drivers enclosure (the end that the aircraft took off from); or could it just be that I'm remarkably unobservant!

By the way, it's been great to see the variety of images that everyone has put up.

I really like the first one, not so sure about the second. I like the blue/cyan on the building lights, but I don't like the yellow of the bollard lights. Have you tried with just the blue?

I was only there on Saturday when there were three - Black, red and pale blue. The high speed run down the runway was fun (and pretty quick!)

Excellent set - the long(er) definitely works here. 'The Top Bend' is a great shot even if it is a little tight on the left; also 'By a Whisker'. Lovely portrait of the winner. Personally, I also like the B&W ones.

Nice set - I particularly like the Canberra. I was with one of the GT40s - not mine unfortunately!

I particularly like the first one with the line of the jetty pointing directly at the sun.

I like the the Bulldog - it's a great view into the cockpit.

I was there all day on Saturday, but was up one end in the driver's enclosure by the motoring paddock, and didn't see a single Pentax - just expensive canikon lenses.

Nice - it was lovely to see the Vulcan flying again.

While it was still loud it didn't seem to have that ear shattering roar that I remember. Maybe they're trying to avoid stressing the airframe and enegines too much. Alternatively, it could also be a dodgy memory!
