It's a bird, it's a plane, it's.... well, a plane. And don't worry, it's doing that squiggly move on purpose, at the Jones Beach Air Show this past May, on Long Island in New York. This photo breaks a lot of traditional rules: blown highlights, lens flare, and probably a few more. But that's what makes it work, I think. That and a little help from not breaking the rule of thirds.
Shot in RAW, used a custom white balance nudged just a tad toward the tungsten end of the scale, as the sky really was quite blue that day. I wouldn't do this adjustment if the image were destined for a newspaper, but for an artsy Monday morning blog post, 's'okay.
