The green face is confusing, and the proportions look wonky with the overly large paint handprints.

cool work author...gl

Author, it isn't your common not posting sbs...

Seems too pretty to be a crash scene. (None of the windows broke?) It might be more evident that a mate is missing if only a very tiny bit of the front balloon were visible in the upper left corner and the other balloons appeared to all be on the same level as that front balloon as they follow the curve of the river giving a clearer impression of a break in formation [rather than swooping down from up in the air with the front balloon looking like it's off course on its way to join its mate in the water]. Also, the joint where the mirrored images meet to form the balloons is awkward in hi-res (and the warpy bottom area of the front balloon is discernable even here).

Dan... Huh?... it sank.. it didn't crash.. he just died and sank..(I'm not into high drama imagery, explosions and smoke and flames aren't my cup of tea..and don't even started me on blood.. UGH) I use them from time to time but I prefer to take a real picture of these types of things when they are happening) but thanks for all the thought you put into it.. (but it's not an actual building.. it's a floating creature.. and your suggestion to put them in an orderly fashion seems quite odd.. and his best mate is not leaving the formation.. he just happen to be there first and has moved to the side so the others can gather.. they are not following the river because they are descending from outer space.. and the mirror seem was done on purpose.. .. I even went back in to bloat and liquefy it on purpose.. and if it seems TOO Pretty.. that's the greatest compliment!!!

Interesting idea! Took me a while to get just what was going on. I like what you did with the colors. Very nice, as if it were in the rays of a sunset.

EDIT: Lol I never expected it to be you! Somehow different from most of your other work.
