very nice...i can feel the speed...dunno why,but somehow,to me it seems apparent. very nice job man.if you rnder in the detail ever(i do a lot) you should try defocusing pixels on the global page to fake DOF,in this scene it would be boffo...just a thought

Thanks bobby. faked DOF, yes I see what you mean but I think that at that range, the glider and the montains would be pretty much at the same focus: infinity, with little bluring. For those interested, I plan to post MOLA based pictures soon as we approach Olympus Mons. (partly real MOLA elevation, partly generated). Big thanks to Mars Global Surveyor !
