Hi there! This piece is really eye catching, and I felt motivated to share my opinion about it.

At first glance, the picture is really impulsive, shocking. I really like the lighting, the shadows on the ship, and the detailed hull. I was also pleased to see the balanced composition: the two main objects of interest occupy the two 1/3 of the picture on its two sides. A good placement!

On the other hand, I am puzzled about the scene. Why would as hip of this size engage in a firefight at such a close, almost direct range? Why is it circling about the enemy units? Such an approach would be expected by a bigger gunship with serious armor and firepower. I would find it more likely for this ship to do "hit-and-run" attacks, fly over them with great spead and drop a couple of bombs or guided missiles on the unexpecting targets, and then pull up and retreat before they strike back.

Furthermore, after a little more examination, I found the ground to be somewhat dull - to me it looks like the terrain of a video game from the 2000's, with repetative texture.

Well, these are my thoughts, hope it can be of some use to you! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>
