oh nice! lovely colors, well done

That's real skill. Flying with only half a wing!

Thanks chaplain, repair the right wing

ah man.. I missed the boo boo.. hehehe.. good job author..

Good job Nice work

Now only two thirds of a wing!

hole of chassis actually have hatchways, if you care - look carefully original picture!

Great idea - I love the scene below and the misty clouds. Good job masking/cutting out the plane (though I don't know what happened to the left engine - I can see the red paint, but nothing else). Good luck!

good work

very nicely done!

great job

GolemAura: it was very funny

smooching OLGA.. hehehe.. that was funny
whoops.. forgot the Author .. Excellent JOB.. High Marks.. excuse me while I get back to smooching hehehe

awesome, good luck authur

Pretty convincing. I would, however adjust the shadows to match the rear light source(like the dumpster), and shade the man's back and near edges of the plane a bit.

the perspective is a little funky

nice job -- looks very much like a real painting sky is great

pingenvy thanks for the comment however these two external source pictures were taken on the same day at same field within the same 30 minutes. The sun was high in the sky to the right as you look at the picture

nice blend of all these sources...looks pretty natural

GolemAura give her one for me while your at it

I know how time consuming this can be!

cool. god job author!!

Cool image lots of work & very nicely done! But….here comes the nip-pick on my screen the Propellers have a purple tint to them if you can get them back to a more gun metal gray colour would make this scene just that bit more realistic

Great masking and nice work

sorry about my previous comment the perspective looks fine after another look!!!

great

good fixing

Fantastic entry!

Excellent job blending! This one must've taken a good deal of work. Great outcome! Good luck.

great job esp on the fence, I have done this and it is alott of work

i agree with cabldawg71, great work on the fence, and nice blend with the images

Congratulations for 2nd

cool! congratulations 3 entries and all winners in this contest! well done

congrats

congrats

Congratssssss! Great work!!!

congrats Chappy!!

Congratulations.

Nice blend...if he's landing, I think he forgot something.
Edit: Oops, sorry for the assumption! On second look, nice reconstruction of the plane.

No he's not landing he's making a low approach/pass with the gear up at 250 knots

wow.. that's a zoomer.. excellent .. need and SBS if possible.. would love to see the process

nice work ...keep it up

looks great,I love it.

I think yor perspective, lines on the tarmac, and shadows are right on. Great job on a good idea. Good luck! (p.s. I hope he has landing gear and this is not a crash approach!)

woo hoo.. I LOVE how you made the propellers..that was why I wanted to see the sbs.. never thought to spin and blend etc.. I thought you used radial.. SUPER COOL TECHNIQUE.. knew it would be..heheh.. good luck on this one.. it's AWESOME

good work

nice work...uh, they might want to put down the landing gear...soon!!!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I purposely made the aircraft with the wheels up. In the world of aviation this is a common practice a "low approach" it is done for practice and proficiency.

I can almost hear him wroom above my head . It's just my opinion, maybe it was meant to be like that but the plane looks a bit too magenta.

@pthree, thanks you were right, I was thinking that myself. I made an edit to the color at bottom of airplane...I think it looks better

Very nice work, well done, I dont think the rotor blades need that blue/purple on them...

that is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great work author, love the propellers.

Get that landing gear down or we're going to ...........Nice idea author.

Nice work

nice job , , but i think that the shadow of the wing that closer to the ground ,,, should be darker than the other..

bbunni1404 , You were exactly right. Thank you very much for that call

WHOAH that shadow is awesome

INCREDIBLE

Nice job! Good effects! Particularly smooth work on the propellers and shadowing!

very nice work, BARNEY THE BIG PURPLE PLANE

great!!

Congratulations for 3rd

congrats for 3rd

CONGRATULATIONS!

congrats

Great work...!! congrats!!!

congrats Chappy!!

good work

You gotta hate when that happens. Good job on extending the wings. Maybe the inclusion of a reason (lightning, birds, meteor, Dr. Evil) would tell the story a bit more. I like this one

HAha nice idea good luck!

EEEEEEKKK three of my family members are flying in this week... thanks a lot author... LOL.. very good job.. you got the PERIL on first rate

Very nice image, the wing extension is flawless!!

Good One, nice work

i love the picture it is AWESCREDIBLE!!!........but i would just lighten up the plane a bit i love the picture a lot though

Great job! I like the overall effect: very photorealistic outcome! Good luck to the pilot...

nice congratulations once again !

congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!

congrats Chappy!!

OKAY AUTHOR I WILL DO THAT JUST FOR YOU COULD STOP SHOUTING NOW...giggle snort.. JUST KIDDING..love your enthusiasm..and yes .. this is a lot of work.. I'll have to say your comment at the bottom really makes this piece.. you can look at the piece and say nice.. then look at the comment and say GREAT..you really helped propel me to look at it more.. good luck and good work

I'm even going to stop back to see your SBS Now GET SOME SLEEP YOU NUT

The effects you used here is good, I think composition(placement of objects and text) need to improve

nice!

SBS added... finally! Enjoy guys)

creative idea...I love the pixelated x's over the skull eyes. Nice job!

Excellent concept and design

eheh funny
