Looking forward to your comments and critiques !

Mike, this is a cool image. I like the inclusion of the land, and it looks like he's jumping up.

Cheers,

Neat comp, and of course the inclusion of the hill at bottom nicely balances it out. Althoug I realize it is gliding down, I would still have preferred the wings to be more apparent.

Mike:

I always like their flared landing poses as they drift down.
Subtle clouds and colors in sky add some texture and detail to the sky, nice.

The distinct feet add!

Cheers
