What a ride!  The cast shadows on the clouds from the Forts is a great touch.

I missed those shadows on the first look, Mark. They really add to it.

Thanks Gray and Don. I added the shadows to give it a bit of dimension. A little trick to help keep the background from appearing too flat.

Love it Mark, definitely a shack.  Just a question about how you work through your compositions. I love the downward angle viewpoint, but it kinda makes me want to ask, at any point did you think about doing a more vertical canvas? I guess the real question I am asking is what things lead you to compose the way you do?  I also love the ghost b-17's in the clouds. (edit) guess not ghosts but the shadows, really should wait to comment until i get on the big monitor at home) I really enjoy it!
