I spend too much of my life on TPF!
#1:
First of all, HOW did you get such perfect twirls in the smoke in #1? Awesome! That being said, I feel like there should be some other way to frame or compose this shot to make better use of the amazing texture. Perhaps a tighter crop on the edges of those 3 twirls. Just a thought. Good photo as-is though.
The rest:
Pretty good job. They're what I would expect. The motion blur in the Mustang shot is unfortunate and the distortion on the 747 panorama looks weird. You nailed the exposure on them all, which can be tough considering everything's against a bright sky. "The Best Approaches" is badass.
lol I love planes

Thanks for replying!
Umm, #1 was taken using the standard 18-55mm kit lens with a speedlight off camera pointed at the smoke coming from an incense stick, the twirls were just pure luck
The panorama one was one of my first panorama's ever so I still have some way to go with them!, I Agree, I Really love the a380 ones

The "Beast Approaches" shot I'm liking quite a bit. The bottom of the plane shots are good but just don't really do too much for me because it is indeed the bottom of the plane (not that you have any control over that usually). Hence why I'm liking the approaching shot a lot...good composition and interesting to look at
