This is the new-and-improved Biggles. He even outputs at double the speed. :D

I loved it!

The only thing I would change is that the blues on the wings (implying that the sky not in view is still blue) are too blue for the scene IMO.  Toning them down to almost gray should give a more lifelike presence*.  But from the storm photo, the trees and grass do not portray a sky (not in view) that is blue at all.  If it was, the contrast between their shadows and highlights would be much more noticeable.

*Unfortunately you'll lose some contrast with the plane.

in the 1st pic..the plane is much "bluer" so to speak.  In the second pic, the plane has a more silverish tone to it.  This is supposed to be the reflected light from the sky.  The 1st one is wrong becuase it has waay too much blue in it for there to be a gray sky.  The 2nd is correct

Turn your screen brightness to 0 and contrast to 100. Now look at the two pictures. The blue will stand out more.
