Looks just like a photo Graham.

It's done in the old photo colour palette. I should have posted a WIP wireframe.

I've looked at the image again - it's great, but.. ..that shadow under the right wheel doesn't seem to match and it doesn't appear in the outlines!

Good catch Paul. Actually none of the shadows from the plane or Greg show. I have my theory's why but I'll keep my trap shut. No matter, it is still a beautiful image.

It certainly is.

Thanks Paul, Larry, Gary for your kind comments.

Paul, thank you sir. I've made 3 or 4 corrections since posting. The said shadow under the wheel was the wrong colour and I hadn't added any transparency to it. The tire also needed to be darkened a little on it's lower side. By posting I always find the little errors quicker. You can look at it yourself for hours and miss the simplest of errors.

Larry, not sure what your theory is but the wireframe is a screen grab taken as an earlier WIP before everything was drawn in. I can post an updated one with the shadows in if anyone wants to see it.
