Looking
at the pictures on the base of the statue and the structure
of the doorway, these pilots are probably US Navy fighter
pilots from the W.W.II era. My first thought in seeing
the picture, though, was of B17 Flying Fortresses, so
that's what I worked toward. I selected the pilots and
moved them to separate layers, reversing one and placing
him behind the other. The B17 began as a stock photo and
was substantially modified. The overall look is the graphic
pen filter applied to one version overlaid on an unaltered
layer, the combination colored sepia with a color adjustment
layer. The slanting graphic pen strokes reminded me of
rain, which fit in with my imaginary B17 base in Britain.
