Hey good to *see* you here, thanks for saying Hi. I agree that the fancy of the voters is often fickle...and you just never know exactly what will appeal. This is a crackin' image you have here, and your single is great too.

Nice to see your name, LaRee. I remember you from way back in Panasonic days. Anyway, I only entered a "single" airplane (123rd in the challenge) because I've had a hard time getting a "clean-n-close" BIF shot of a single -- and I was happy with it. Oh well. Kind of boring I suppose. It is interesting how YOUR vision of what might be appealing is much different than the broader audience.

*Here's my "diamond" shot from the same day...*

Excellent capture! I was hesitant to enter my Blue Angel photos because they are jets and I thought some would be too technical and think they didn't fit the theme. I am glad that your image did so well. It sure is deserving of a high rank. Very well done!
