Discussion of the B&W version of this photo spurred me to find the original 
color version:

http://www.leica-gallery.net/barbour/image-25950.html

I think the B&W version could benefit from a little more experience 
converting color to B&W, for example I'd like to see in the B&W version more 
of the fine details in the plumes trailing the jets that I see in the color 
version; the B&W looks too 'hot' in the highlights to me.  Still a fine 
photo either way, I'd like to have seen and captured it as Steve did.
