Okay, I was forced to post some air show photos:

Comments are welcome, but on the processing, of course. They're just
planes in the sky, not much you can do with those as far as
composition goes.

Anyway, all work was done in LR, all photos were cropped, and all had
at least some of the following adjustments: color temp, exposure,
shadows, highlights, clarity, vibrance, saturation, and sharpening,
and one photo used the haze removal slider (the one with the sun in
the upper right corner). Those are the things I'm interested in
comments on. I see after posting them that there is noise in the sky
in some of them. I really need to look into that, but it might just be
aggressive sharpening. I also failed to remove spots in a couple of
the photos. I do need to learn to clean those lenses...


What look are you trying to achieve.
Try playing with levels /curves on a separate layer. Judicious use will
cause your image to really pop.

There are also some neat free tutorials on youtube.
