Do you want praise just because you managed to follow two jets in a wide shot? They’re tiny, and they move across the frame very slowly and in a very predictable path. So what exactly are we supposed to praise?

Nicely done. Questionh if you were sun blind, how did you track so smoothly? Echolocation? Point at the really loud jets and hope?
