Its not a prefect rendition but it looks good on my end.
care to explain your opinion?

The idea is nice of experimenting with light and shadow. It can give very interesting results but at least you should take care of some basics. (Maybe I sound like a schoolmaster now but hey that's what happens after the Academy of Arts and still into drawing and painting. :wink: )
It's easier to explain it with an image so therefor I used your screenshot.
To locate the lightsource I had to follow the light beams as indicated by the green lines and the red lines indicate the location where the shadows should be.
As represented in your screenie it looks like if there are many lightsources when looking at the parachutes and P-47.
I see some other things that are not correctly rendered but it goes too far I think to explain by mail.
I know there is something like artistic freedom but without the basics...
