Finally another composite! Cheesy

I wanted to do a picture like this one for ages and here it finally is. I've been working on it on and off for the past few weeks. It was a lot of fun, but at times I really had enough of this shot. All the highlights took a lot of attention. It's also the first time I had a try at adding reflections from the wings etc. on the fuselage. I got this idea by looking at photographs at airliners.net. I'm really glad I got this one finished (as much as one can call a picture 'finished') and now have the opportunity to show it to you guys.

Please enjoy...

I don't hold the rights to it. It doesn't have any copyright at all actually... Cheesy

And if it was mine you could use it anyway. So, sure! Go right ahead! Wink
