"Well, after a day of driving to Atlanta, I finally have a chance to take a good look at all the shots and I must say that you guys really did not disappoint! Just some downright beautiful shots. All of them. Choosing just 3 was darn near impossible here, and all 3 of these could have easily won. But there has to be a winner, so here it goes;"












"What can I say about this shot? I don't know what was done to it, but it is just awesome. Not just because of the Tomcats , but the angle, the colors, the scenery... all well put together. It even looks like there are cloud shadows on the water. Just too cool!"










"RAFLeigh takes second place!"






"I always enjoy a nice composite, and this is a fine example of one. Choice of aircraft is excellent, the colors look great, and the shot as a whole looks very real. I like the simple beauty of the shot."




Third place is for Bob70!





" I just said wow when I saw this shot. A typically awesome Bob70 shot. I definitely get the feel of being in Tahiti and seeing that Goose flying overhead. The colors and reflections in the water look great, and of course the sky/clouds are stunning."




"Special mention to ApplePie - I really like what you did on your shot. Only thing that didn't seem right was the heat haze. Otherwise it would have been top 3. Great job and keep it up!"
