Judge's Critique:
1 Honoring Medical Personnel: Image is compositionally sound and the cloud in the lower left corner helps the composition. We read and typically view things from left to right. The jets coming into the frame and rising from the right adds a bit of tension. Not a bad thing…If anything the eye goes immediately to the jets and then moves in an upward left direction and them instantly back to the jets, thereby keeping the viewer engaged. I also understand flight direction is not something you can control.
This is why titles are important; I’ve seen and photographed the Blue Angels, so I am not sure this is a “New Normal”, but as your title indicates, the occasion for which they are flying is. Image may have been processed better or at least differently to enhance the scene. See Visual Critique…what do you think.
