This time this one is real ....I do wish I could post a larger image and add the Merlins roar

What makes him more special is he has no registration markings at all

Nice prop blur!!

Would a closer crop be possible, or is it a fairly heavy crop already?

I like it. where did you capture it?
Has been a restored plane do you think, with the lack of registration markings?

It did a brilliant flypast at Hibaldstow for an RAF reunion and will try a tighter crop

This was a hard shot as he got to this point then turned(banked) to the right fast so it was a hit or miss jobbie and we all got it lol

No worries Pete Glad they came out OK :thumbs:
Not sure which edit you mean it could be either of these two
I'll delete the one you don't want just shout

BTW just right click "save as" and then you can upload to your photo storage site :thumbs:

Chris....I am trying for the angle in the first and the sepia in the second and also going to try to age it but as my last (model) spit shows my photoshopping needs a little help lol

Heres my effort mate.
It only took about 2-3 minutes and would probably be better with a bit more time spent, but you get the idea.....

Thanks to both of you as you have certainly given me something to work on but one question to the both of you, If you look at the pilot in my attemt he seems washed away yet he is still prominent in both of your takes how do you do this:thumbs:
Cobra

In CS3 ( I don't know what you are using so I will assume)
use the sponge tool to "saturate" the pilot
you also might need to select the "sharpen tool" and just a little
"touch" with that as well.
all I have done to your picture below is given it quite a severe sharpen (overall not selective)
