Jon,
I really like the top photo. The background you used for the picture works well to add "atmoshpere". Godd action in this piece. I like the large flag in the setting as well.
I do have one thought, and I certainly don't mean to pick at the piece, as it speaks for itself. I was always one to paint nearly everything I add to my layout. This speaks especially for the ground work. It doesn't appear as if you painted the rocks or logs in this piece. If I'm wrong, you can ignore this and move on. If they aren't, all I would suggest is to give it a shot next time. Because your figures are painted, they blend in much more seamlessly to a ground work that is painted as well. Hope that makes sense. Great piece over all!
