Wow! I'm more mesmerized with the conversion of the road than I am the planes. I personally don't care for the P-51 being so low to the ground. I think it subtracts from the reality of the shot.

Still a good edit, there.

Thanks gents.   :salute

Yea Den, making that road was a new thing for me, and it was painful  :lol  I almost had it finished and Photoshop crashed, lost the road because I hadn't saved it. That won't happen again  :)

Oh man! I've experienced this in Flash. I would work on about 120 frames hand-drawing animations. About 3 hours of work. After forgetting to save, flash crashed and I lost it all. I think I gave up on animating shortly thereafter.

I use Cs3, I'm not familiar with Gimp... But I assume it's just adding layers like most editors, the Background being the bottom layer, then add planes, tanks, and automobiles  :aok

I like the dust cloud on the road from the P51. I was totaly fooled by the road conversion, thought it was a real gravel strip with tyre tracks in it.

Ahh but your talents are being misused . Surely these skills cry out for something in a 38 <G>

Dust cloud could use some subtle variations instead of a perfect blur, and the 152's too saturated. Other than that, good job.

In the picture the TA-152 has a 4 bladed prop..isn't it supposed to be a 3 bladed prop?
