Photographer:

Milton Huertas, Seattle

Photo taken:

July 31, Boeing Field, Seattle

Photographer's description:

"A Blue Angels flyby at Boeing Field, as they were getting ready for Seattle Seafair weekend."

Expert says:

"This is a great photo that is executed well. Having something in the foreground that relates to the background adds an element to this photo to bring it a step above other similar photos. The line of smoke mimics the line of the tail of the plane in the foreground, adding a strong linear component to this photo."
