Hard to pick a favourite but number 23 Eagle light trails for me is a bit special , it is full of light and movement.

Each time I thought I’d found the best shot of the bunch, the next picture is even better. Great lighting and compositions - the Heritage F-15C head on (shot 9) is magnificent.

Inspiring photography.
