Description
Special thanks to NefariousDrO for the ship done in Bryce...thanks Michael! TG .9.43, LunarCell moon and postwork sharpening in PSP7...
The Captain was agitated…the navigator came in too hot and left a trail large enough to be seen by any ship in this system. With a quick check of deep sensors he breathed a sigh of relief… no other ships scanned. The Captain’s eyes squinted as he noticed a storm had blown away the sand from his hideout. The crew would have to work extra hard to quickly unload the booty and cover it over with sand. He smiled as he realized he could place the navigator in charge of the detail ensuring he was the last man on the sand…left behind as punishment for his hurried decision of marking their location. The crew would get the message… the Captain demanded perfection and attention to detail. The Captain’s smile quickly faded as finding a new trusted pilot/navigator would take a while…still…he and his crew were rich…but not now…later… when the heat cooled off…he could sell these riches on the black market and retire. Retirement…ahhh… would he ever make it? The only thing he was sure of was…the navigator would soon be retired. He tossed his head back in a deep, strong and long laugh. The rest of the crew joined in… somewhat nervously. The captain shouted…”Detail… rack and stack…navigator’s in charge…bury the booty and cover it over with sand…we’re rich boys”!!

Good story telling for the image. The image is very nice but I suppose this is where I differ from the others. I feel the ship actually ruins the image even though it's obviously part of the story. The ship looks stuck on to my eyes. Its contrast is alot less than the surrounding area and its also not as sharp. Sorry, just being honest. I think the image is excellent but the ship needs to be redone for me. Maybe I am wrong and it's my monitor calibration. Overall a well written piece of story telling and nice image.
agree with Bob nad rob et al!...5*
