super clean work here.. love the tracers, very well done

Nice work...very dramatic lighting!

amazing, great sources choice, very neat work, right on the theme, briefly i love it, just one tiny suggestion, if you make the fans of the aircraft swirl would make the image more dynamic, good luck

I like the light, very good job!!
But I'm with Orientallad, try to make the propellers with movement. Maybe with radial blur?

Great image author!

WONDERFUL . great take on the theme, good source images prop motion would be a bonus as already highlighted. THUMBS UP AUTHOR>

Excellent choice of subject/history lesson, and very dramatic image. Pretty cool view of the action above the clouds.

Excellent work, great mood, blending and effects.

this is spectacular...i love mostlly everything in it man...good job

Very nice!!!

Excellent entry and great subject. You can't say enough about the courage and determination of the British people in WWII. Using older less capable aircraft like the Hawker Hurricane and the newer and one of the ten best fighters in history the Supermarine Spitfire they fought overwhelming odds. This makes a nice tribute to those tenacious British fighter pilots!

In retrospect you'd have a much more realistic image if the props were given a radial blur, but it's still good work.

O-K War-bird fans, upon popular demand I have made an edit. Thank you all for the positive feed back and favorites. After some careful deliberation and pressure opacity smudge brush work I have added some blur to the blades on the props. Spaceranger, you are exactly right about the Hawker Hurricane, now those Hurricane drivers had some brass kahuna's for sure.

Fantastic piece of work author...Great mix of different sources and outstanding final result...Instant fav from me...Best of luck

Whoo ya! Get 'em tiger. This seems out from a movie. Great clean work author. High scores.

Thanks everyone!!!

aweseome effect : its such a cute creature

Thanks you!!! Funny how you can take pieces of a totally NOT cute animal and make it sorta cute
and
@Akassa, there is definitely more detail towards the top. Partially because that is where I want your eye to go, and partially because it got really late last night and I knew I wouldn't have much more time to work on it, so I called it done

Thanks nator!! Took LOTS of painting to get the light to look like this

That is a great work....love the creature. Great imagination! Good luck author.

Congrats Robert terrific work

Thanks you everyone

littel late ( I was one a road trip) great work I simply love it!

Soften the edge of the light beam on the child at right. The shadow should be rotated 90 degrees clockwise to match the light from the bulb. Bulbs on ground would have shadows.

Thank you, Mr CMYK46. I am in the process of correction

A good idea

A good idea

You rotated the shadow about 45 degrees. Better than nothing, but you need to develop an eye for light sources.

Nice!

love it.. creativity wise, i wonder what it would have been like if it had been a night scene.

Thanks I try

good

a lot of lamps
nice idea
