Early Morning Start

Two Bf109 E7 trop of JG27 launch to escort the Stuka's on a raid in the Western Desert.

Nice and moody image :) The lighting isnt entirely correct (should be more to the right), but it looks better this way I think :)

Cobra 6

It looks great !

Cool image...definitely has that morning feel to it!

I agree with cobra, though...maybe you should flip the bg image left-to-right to make the lighting match more?

The light source is the rising sun on the pilots port side,this is where light is situated in setup.If I flipped the bg the light would have to illuminate stbd side of aircraft. Thanks for your input , I am very happy with light source. Just for info I have edited image since cobras comments.

I think it's a great picture Chris, perhaps one of the best I've seen from you. I like the mood of the crisp early morning light (lots of contrast, :) )
If one should be nitpicking, one could comment that the tires are a bit too shiny (unless they've been taking off from a very wet runway) But overall it's a pleasant image.
