Description
To correctly compose an image containing only one major point of interest is always a challenge. The beauty of programs like Vue, Max and Photoshop is that the world is literally one's oyster and with a little skill and patience anyone can make an image of practically anything. However, one needs to be able to make the image carry a distinct message, which should provide some interest and hopefully pleasure to the viewer.
Therein lies the real challenge.
My picture of the little F4 coming home to roost is a case in point. One is reminded how small the landing area of a carrier is, in a huge, unforgiving ocean. All Navy pilots must feel some relief as the wheels touch down on something solid.

lovely image! just an idea for a further F4U corsair art... "try making one of those crash landings on the carrier, very usual with the F4U for they had a very long nose and they had to make a landing path in relatively sharp turn, so they could see the carrier's runway" however this one is very very nice, lovely work.

Pulling off a scene with one or two objects is always my favorite challenge and you have done it very well indeed.

Think you have really captured the moment, love the props
Osper
Well done. I expect he's getting a "wave off" though.

Hats off, man, Very nice !! ----------------- "Little F4U " ? Relative to the ocean I suppose... Man, this machine was humongous !! Just read G.Boyington's book !! And I would prefer a sky telling of a storm coming-it's your specialty, my friend ! P

I expect they don't feel relief until the plane has stopped and the engine turned off. I think one of the Mercury Astronauts--or one of them in the that or the Gemini or Apollo space programs was a Navy pilot who lost his instrumentation off Vietnam, one night, and was only able to find his carrier, which had to run without lights because of combat conditions, by remembering that the churning wake of the ship broiled up a lot of phospheresence (sp?)from tiny marine animals. He looked for a faint green wake and found it and used it to locate the ship. Now that's keeping one's cool and what separates the men from the boys!

Very nice job.

Agree. Too high and getting a wave off.
