Great 3D effect here Gerrie. It seems the giant is just about to burst through the image. I like the angle, light and you certainly nailed the sharpness. This guy better be there when I come up and visit. ;)

Tough to get one of these speeders flying right at you, but you've done it quite well! Congrats!

Well done! As others have said, it's quite sharp and shows some impressive technique.

I wish the wings were down just a bit more.

I generally do not like this wing position at all but for this speeding bullet I will make an exception. :)
