Im not a great fan of rendering objects but this is nice. Where did the sky come from?

@drgnmztr, I quite like this, it looks really effective. I would change two things though, firstly I know the top left is really blown out with the sun but the bottom right half is really dark compared to it. HDRi's don't know these things but light travels and would still be hitting those clouds, maybe try and lighten them up in PS? Secondly, I think you need a foreground focus, maybe even just the tail of a plane or top of a cockpit with pilot looking across at his wingmen? I don't know, something to fill that dead space in the bottom right and give you some foreground focus.

@drgnmztr - Looks fantastic. Ignore those that tell you what they'd prefer to see in your artwork vs producing their own.

I get constructive criticism. But what is not constructive criticism is using phrases such as "What I would do." or "What you should change" Especially where no such criticism was requested. A mere display of a work in a forum is not an automatic request for critique and suggestions for change. This is where you rub some wrong. Those sorts of phrasing will get you into a put up or shut up sort of confrontation every time, especially in situations where nobody can see what you are bringing to the table beyond your critiques of others works.

@drgnmztr, I apologise if I offended you and for obviously derailing your post.

To anyone else, please don't derail this post any further.
