    I wonder where they got the design idea for this:

    Maybe from here!

    All right: Camarillo's nice, but who's holding out on shots from this year's EAA gathering in Oshkosh, Wisconsin???

    C'mon, c'mon! Cough 'em up!

    Please, don't "sit in awe"...
    Instead, go out and make a difference...:-)
    I mean, shoot some threes and share yours :-)

    WOW !!! those are awesome Nikolai clap.gifclap.gif
    They have some strange designs....... I noticed at the Air Show I went to that even the Choppers were all different shapes, and I wondered, how do they know what is the best Aerodynamic shape to make something fly better headscratch.gif

    I love that last black and white shot with the selective colour in his sunglasses, that is a really cool shot Nik thumb.gif

    What a great series......... wish it was me posting them :D

    I really enjoyed all your Airshow shots, Nik (just haven't had time to comment). This is a cool set and I really like the 3 Soliders... but I'm not sure about the selective color. To me, the portrait is stronger than the reflection, and it draws attention from that. I like it, though.

    Thanks for looking!

    SC was an experiment. I rarely do it. It's kinda love/hate thing, and I mostly find myself on a hate side. But in this case I wanted to try it for the reasons yet unknown even for me. ne_nau.gif
