Default Red Bull Air Races National Finals– San Diego, CA

I decided to go yesterday. It was quite fun. I got to see a LOT of EDGE 540's this weekend. This is probably my favorite picture. Corrected a bit in Lightroom. Added vignette, sharpened [too much, but I like the effect it gives it], and cropped.

I would have croped less at the botom because we know these planes are flying low but it would be nice to see the perspective of how low.

Your shot is very nice.

Red Bull had plans to bring it to Montreal, i wish that it does happen.
