The masters of the air are making ready for take off. Pilot Goose, first officer Goostown and second officer Goosestreet will defend the gold medal from last year.

This is made by blending, scaling and rotating 12 layers. I have warped helmets and goggles to make them fit the geese heads. The most difficult part of this work was to find good stock images. I gave the image a color tone from the 50ties to match the leather helmets and goggles.

This is great and funny...but not so sure about the lack of contrast. It looks rather flat right now. If you could boost contrast here it would greatly help. Nice job

EDIT: Lookin' Good!! Reply »

I think your image is too dark, and like pixelkid says - lacks contrast, but your image is hilarious, and it;s a great idea! Good luck!! Reply »
