Thanks to Christian (ApplePie) for allowing me the use of his fantastic photo.

HR

Thanks for looking.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Aewsome edit Larry

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

absolutly awesome edit! great composite, and great photo too from ApplePie, the aircraft really matches the background!

if i could make a suggestion, maybe to add some kind of blur to the props... they seem a bit square. obviously the textures for a rotating propeller are blured but when veiwed still, they dont quite look right to me. maybe just something to soften the edges and corners of them.

anyways, wicked shot!

Thanks Deano.

I agree. I think I gave up too soon. Think I still have the .psd so I might work on it a bit more.
