lol great image..... could just do with being a little closer on your cuts, mainly the helmet & strap & back of birds leg/foot....well done though

nice work

THAT IS GREAT!!!! Love the military!

The green doesn't say "Air Force," and the numbers on each bird should be different. Otherwise, excellent concept!

Love it! Agree with GX about cuts and I think the helmet on #3 is slightly visible over the beak of the second bird. But wonderful, fanciful image ... they look sooooo serious!

i like the concept too, but you should work a little bit more with the shadows under their feet and on the tarmac to intergrate more those birds into the picture. Otherwise i think it`s very original one ! Good luck author, i wait a little bit for my vote....

I agree with the GeexMan...Idea is very nice,on first sight looks well made but if u look closer there is few things that could be better...Crop-ing should be way better,helmets and legs for example,and birds needs some shading under the feet...good luck author

This looks very good! I'm waiting for the Sbs

Rock on! This is both hilarious and awesome!

REALLY NICE BLEND! Only suggestion would be to fix the blown highlights on the arm and hand. Unless you add blown highlights to the shirt to match. Good luck.

Oh Gosh, look at that expression on his face... Cool work, author! GL!
Btw, I love your new avatar...

Cool! I wish you were able to find a more expressive face. (This intense-concentration one is clearly suitable, but a more gleeful expression would add punch to the image.)

great job

Great job author and only thing is that highlight on the his left hand,fix that and u will have fabulous entry...good luck

Nice job, cool picture

very nice author

it looks wonderful........gud luck..........

good job..... nice mood

Nice mood

good work.

cool effect

good job

clap clap! nice creation, remind me Pandora . I would make the bottom edge of the land less sharp and a bit darker, plus bring back the sky background (because in landscape capture, the sky is almost in the same dimension plane with other things, not blurry like in portrait, macro, etc.). Very good, good luck to you

Awesome! Very good!

its great but where's the river? the theme is more like about the river

Ya Good question.I'm agree with rhane11.

appreciable work... but slight the theme....

I don't agree with the others. I think this is brilliant and don't understand why these people want the river. You still have at least half of the original image still there. Great idea!

nice idea

Chalty669 is right, this is not the theme contest, not about the river, Indian river is just the name of the source

Very creative. I think it's great not having to look at another river. I like how the author didn't go with the obvious yet the source image is still clearly recognizable.

It's very creative, different of the other entries!

I agree. Its very creative. Good luck author!

Just remove whatever that is at top center and you'll have a great image.

the clouds are fuzzy yet the birds that are off in the distance are clear as day. the thing in the top center is a bit distracting. great image, gl!

awesome work
