w000t!
great camera angle, the action of the fighting below is really well captured, it does, however lack in detail and is kinda rough, i think thats what u want, if not, work on it(cockpit, water splashes, reflection etc.)

| It seems like you purposely left the ground battle a bit hazy to emphasize it's motion and the fightercraft's speed. However, perhaps adding a bit more definition to the cockpit would help offset that and allow the eye to jump back and forth between detailed cockpit and fast, flowing ground combat scene. |

really like the atmosphere depicted here . What InitialT said, guess your image could become stronger with some more definitions on the foreground - Placing a few highlights ( metal ) on the outside of the cockpit might help read the depth ( just my opinion anyway ) would also help to create a stronger focus point - where you feel it should go.
nice construction. cool stuff. keep on posting here!

Completely dig. And also agree that it could benefit from some tightening somewhere, probably thew cockpit. The overall sensation is that it was drawn really really small and then scaled up. Needs some harder edges somewhere.

i have to disagree to that. i think the contrast gives the pic a nice touch, realism doesn't always make it look better.
Leave it like this, i wouldn't mind a bit more detail though, or just zoom out a little. But it's a very nice pic overall. I love the angle used, original idea as well!

Maaan that's wicked! That's the picture from me dream I had two weeks ago. Although i my dream I had children playing in a kindergarten right next to the war zone and a father/teacher watching them play.
That was my first thought... The picture itself is beautiful and I do like the light just the way it is. The selection of colors are great and I like the strayshots in the water too.. There could be a little more reflection on some parts of the water though.
Nice nice nice. |
