I like the one with the water trail behind, pretty snazzy. ;D

You should have that hand looked at.

I'm not gonna say anything about that hand except go see a doctor. In the future though, please keep it to just the more artistic kind of stuff. :3

Also, there is a rule that asks you to comment when posting. So if you plan on sharing anymore photos, please make sure to leave comments as well or I'll have to lock the thread.

Onto the photos...

First:
Interesting angle, it kind of works here. You've got some good leading lines as well, and pretty good light for the subject, but the subject itself feels uninteresting.

Second:
I really dig the colour here. That's some nice blue. Good job at stopping the motion as well. But it feels almost like too tight a crop, since until I read that it was a bow shot, I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking at.

Third:
Not the best of shots. I can tell it's from a low angle for sure due to the foot on the left side, and aside from being okay compositionally it just feels like a snapshot.

Fourth:
Um... okay? Not sure what I'm looking at here, even with the caption.

Fifth:
Once again the beautiful blues. I enjoy the wake of the water as well, it's great texture. But there isn't much of interest in this shot either.

Sixth:
Beautiful stop motion. The little bit of smoke off the wheel is phenomenal. Crop tis in a bit and correct the exposure so it's not so totally overexposed on the top of the plane, and you'd have a really nice shot.

I'm not sure how serious you are about photography, but that's what I see here.

All of these feel like snapshots to me. Saknika have already elaborated on her views and I agree with them, mostly.

Try to visualise, perhaps, how the photograph will turn out, before you take the shot. Don't take obvious photographs; take photographs that have a meaning that's beyond just capturing what is there.

A good photograph have no real technical definition; it's just how you play with what you have to create a photograph that tells a whole story in itself. I don't see that in any of the photos here.

Is there any chance of getting a sunset photo with an aircraft silloette? What is the Navy's rules about cameras on the flight deck. Back when I was in the Air Force they would not allow any privately owned cameras on the flightline. Especially around the SR-71 hanger.

They must be pretty lax on the whole camera thing now, because a friend of mine was on the Kittyhawk before it was decommissioned and he had tons of photos from the flight deck.
