The concept is good, as are the planes.
But the explsions need work, rather much ;-)
the rain seems a bit to thin as well..

You might want to take a look at the source code of the latest
winning IRTC image : "strike", by G. McCarter and N.B.
Their code is very well commented and very instructive about
the use of media for fire and thick smoke...
BTW, the feel of your image is better than "strike", much closer
to the idea I have of war...
Cheers,
Fabien.

Heh, yeah.
The rain drops are pushing the limits of my patience. I put in 15,000,000
drop for this image, and the parse time is well over three hours.
I'll search for a better way.

You've obviously been to the Isle of Man.

That's rain there isn't it? Very good.
And yes, the explosion is the weak bit. If you cut of the lower half of the
image (which happened before scrolling) it's almost like one of those 17th
century aircraft-paintings ;-)
But, typically, the planes are great, but for some reason the rain caight my eye
first.

I love the feel of this image, it makes me feel cold like I want to take
a warm shower... and I think I like the rain this way, imperfect, it
reeks of almost the artists distaste for the subject matter :) And by
accident or intent, the blue gap in the desolate skies in the upper
right is almost poigant... now, if a spiral of particles and smoke with
a better flames replaced the one thats there, this would be a winner :)
Nice HFs too.

I think the rain is good. Too much and it would take away from the
scene. What you need is some landscape. What are they bombing? But
some buildings or ships in there to blow up. I like it though.

A great action image. Most of the best comments have been made, and I
also like the atmosphere you have evoked with the cloudy sky and rain.
It seems churlish to criticize anything in it, but I am puzzled by the
RAF fighters. I take it they are meant to be Hawker Hurricanes but
the proportions seem wrong. I suppose it really shouldn't matter, but
because it is otherwise such a good representation of reality, this
detail jarred a little with me.
I look forward to seeing your next version when you have sorted out
the explosion.

Do they have to be bombing something? The image is titled "*Intercept* over
Isle of Man", so I guess the Germans were *on their way* to the bombing,
when they were intercepted and the dogfight began...
BTW, I like the image too, the rain is good (and as many others said, the
explosion is bad ;-)
