I would like to say this though. On the debate about this being a form of art, it most certainly is. BUT it is not Aviation art. The Artists who produce those wonderful images have worked long and hard to get the recognition they rightly deserve. To try and compare anything done via our methods with true aviation art is to make ourselves look bad.
Screen shot art is a new medium made possible by the computer age. It has a place of it's own as other mediums such as photography do. We should not pretend to be something we are not, we SHOULD be proud of what we can achieve and strive to make our medium recognised more widely.
I make mistakes in my pictures (many), all I ask is for a polite message saying what is wrong - this way not only will you help me to improve, but you will also help others who might be reading the thread. i make pictures for fun, after a day at work to relax. In the last exchanges comments were made about aspects of my pictures, not addressed to me, not intended to help anyone learn, but only to pull the picture apart. I don't like this method and will not respond to it.
Anyway,
Here is another picture. A wounded Spitfire pilot sees a vision of an old WW1 plane (se5a) the pilot waves 'follow me'. This is the spit pilots Gaurdian Angel.
The backdrop shows the pilot in the middle. Bright safe 'follow me' above him and the red of hell beneath, waiting for it's next soul.
I hope you like it
