Somehow missed this one from the Leuchars Airshow this year.

C&C welcome as usual.

Well exposed, although a little too tightly cropped for me. I would be tempted to have added some canvas and changed the format to give more space:

Ignore the crappy cloning around the tail, it was just to show.

Thanks very much for the feedback, Ed.

It wasn't cropped at all, just filled the frame too much in the camera and would much have preferred a wee bit more space around it.

Would you mind telling me how to alter the photo like that?

Somebody did tell me a while ago but the old brain cells are dying quick!

I have CS5 and Lightroom.
 
Hi Mike,

I realised the image was as taken and although I said cropped I meant that it had been cropped in camera.

As for the treatment, all I did (and not as well as I could have) was to increase the canvas size in CS5, then select an area around the jet, invert it and paint the white canvas, Then crop to size.

Add required extra canvas

Thanks very much, Ed for taking the time to provide that info.

I will have a wee play as still a novice at pp.

That last work is so much better than the plain blue, but don't tell me how you did it, because the old head will be splitting just shortly!
 
Had a wee play and, apart from not getting just quite the right blue, it went fine.

There is another way of doing it, something about extending the actual picture itself.

Will have a wee search on here because somebody told me how to extend one of my bike photos.

Found it, some magic thing called "content aware"

My two attempts, the content-aware doodah is the second one.

Thanks again for the help, Ed.
