Sorry for being slow to reply been away. Thank you all for your comments and ratings. Peter i have no idea why only 2 comment haha. Maybe a spitfire is not everyones cup of tea. This pic has recently been accepted by digital photo mag for publication which im quite chuffed about.

Amazing photograph. The clouds add drama to the shot, but don't immediately draw your attention away from the main focus! I'm not surprised this is getting published! :)

Great shot, you had some nice light to bring out the colours of the aircraft, nice prop blur too which essential for a warbird.
