This is a modified image taking advantage of your expert advise.
I know there is not much space on the left , but I am trying to emphasize the smoke trail, but I may have overdone it.
If it`s permissible I`d like to describe the photo the wing walker on the Stearman is: Jane Wicker - the aircraft owner- the pilot is her x-husband. They put on a terrific show!
I have more photos if anyone is interested.
Thanks, Jack

Another good effort. I would add some space to the top unless you specificall want a pano. Theres a little sharpening needed. I have toned down the brightness and highlights in the smoke trail, effectively getting rid of the +1/3, and it does provide quite a bit of additional detail. Its normal to add positive exposure compensation shooting into the sky if the sugject is dar, however, its really all bright, so the metering should do a decent job.
Ive loaded a mod showing what I mean, and slightly rotated the crop so the plane is pointing down a little more.

Frank,
No worries Mate was taken in the light hearted manner it was meant to be.
I just thought you might like to hire Jane to perform at a air show near you, do you think that old Stearman could do a pond crossing? She could lash Jerry cans outside and walk out there to refuel in mid-air as needed.
Just kidding I did look at her schedule and she is a very busy woman , and putting lots of hours on Aurora - Her plane.
I never had much interest in air show stunts until I saw hers. Now I want to go to another and really work at getting some good images of her and that gorgeous old plane.
I have a Nikon D-800 on order hopefully I`ll get it before Summer.
Regards, Jack
