Description
A little light hearted photo manipulation here.
We appear to be seeing a World War II vintage FG-1D Corsair chasing a modern F-18F Super Hornet across a beautiful slice of Lake Burton, Georgia.
Actually, I took a US Navy "Legacy Flight" from a photo of mine at Kansas City in late August 2008 and placed the same aircraft in the sky over one of my photos taken at Lake Burton while visiting two Renderosity friends three weeks before the airshow.
The Lake looked great...it just needed a little something more IMHO :-)
Thanks for all your comments and suggestions...I value each and every one of them.
Bill:)
This photo begs a ZOOM.

Very well done...Excellent Photo manipulation Buddy
Clever!!!
Fabulous! Like the work!
Really nice work Bill! Looks great. :)
Great work Bill! I was waiting for a photo manip from you and it seems that you've done a great job! Love it!
excellent post work!
You ARE clever... great work !! Found any new barns lately??
Has to be a manip, no way can B Ever keep up with A, fun stuff Bill.
...some blur for jet-wash,and a little more altitude...otherwise great!
excellent done ...impressive !
and the planes almost do fly that low over the lake!
Great work!!
Oh boy. Letters to the Editor in tomorrow's newspaper for sure. Nice manip.
Very cool and great work.
Great idea and the outcome is excellent Bill
Awesome...and an instant fav.... Just too cool for words...
Wonderful work, Bill.... if you hadn't mentioned that it was a manipulation, this would be totally believable!!
Oh this is cool. Great action on high speed.
Ohhh, this is great. I really like what you did with this. I enjoy jets and you made them fit quite well with the background.
What a great job. Reminds me of when I used to go to the river and these jets would fly low over the canyon, and usually make another run to check us out (did I mention we were skinny dipping???!!)--we'd wave and they'd dip their wings!!
Yeah, like the Corsair is going to chase down the F-18...fat chance, especially with the propeller stuck in no spin. Other than the prop/engine problem, and a seeming lack of aircraft shadows on the cool waters below -- maybe it was too cloudy that day -- this is really a great and imaginative composition, Bill.
LOL! That Corsair is just kicking butt! :) I love your sense of humor ... this is great!
I must remind goodoleboy that old and devious beats youth and speed 9 out of 10 times! As if he didn't know :-)
impressive manipulation!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I first opened this, I thought it was real! It was only when I started reading, the illusion was shattered! The ONLY thing that gives it away, is the lack of 'shadows' on the water. But who the hell cares! A STUNNING IMAGE! Straight to Faves! You will have your own folder soon, mate! Rob.
Fun photo!
outstanding job of cutting and pasting. I was fooled also except they seemed way too low
You did a pretty good job, Bill!
I agree with all here ... stunning beyond words Bill. At this range my money is on the Corsair :)
Wonderful work. Yeah, a gorgeous lake with only one fighter plane is just SO. Um. Ordinary? Hehe.
