Well, I disagree that the wings seem to be in the ground, since you can see by the shadows that they aren't, but it does sort of look that way. Optical illusion. I think it looks great, really, but I'd also agree about the highlights on the armor. Maybe a little more "glossiness" would be in order, meaning a smaller highlight size. I saw the other pic you posted. Yikes! What was that all about? It looked like a GIF with a "tile" filter on it. That just happened for no reason and not again?
