From bobfranke@halcyon.com:
Very nice modeling, the shockwave is a nice touch.  To 
make the image more dramatic, I would take the gradient 
of the sky to a much darker blue at the top or maybe just 
increase the assumed_gamma.

Another stunning entry. This tied with Strike (for me, at least) for the best
image this round. I love the subtle shockwave effect at the nose, and the
rocket exhaust.

From manorton@tcnet.net:
Very well done.  The plane looks absolutly real.  I think 
Chuck would be proud.

From kosh@nesys.com:
Excellent shock waves!
Nice texture, good detail, looks right.

Sharp and vivid.  Excellent viewpoint, lighting, modelling.
I might have put the title in the upper left corner to counterbalance the
ground, but that's just a personal preference.
A spectacular image!

From djconnel@flash.net:
Nicely modeled!

The scene lacks the general complexity of real winners.  
However, I have
a weakness for the topic, and your modeling is quite 
good.  The pilot is
quite subtle.

One point -- the text on the nose seemed strange, but I 
checked an
image (

-yeager.jpg ),
and your representation is basically correct.  The actual 
logo seems a bit
heavier on the border, though.

The shock wave is a very nice touch, BTW.

Very nicely done.  Some of my highest marks.  The shockwaves and 'diamonds'
in the exhaust are great.  Would look good hanging on a pilot's wall.

From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
Very good. Artistic image, good accuracy of detail-liked 
the shockwave touch. It *is* a first encounter too.

From blaineholmes@hotmail.com:
I like your pict.  Very simple and the plane stands out great.  Good modeling. 
Nice work on the shock waves.

From jaime@ctav.es:
Nice and original. And a hard work, of course. Nice effect on the shockwaves,
but
the exhaust is a bit too perfect.
