Screen 7 is too busy.
Screen 6 is a perfect example of good density, foreground to background. For maximum impact, always keep it simple!

Maybe too busy, but I like it very much.

Also an exquisite shot of the HMS Hood, leading HMS REPULSE and HMS Nelson in the Med. The glory is almost too much to bear! [:D]
Rob, maybe you could try your recipe with this one for a new splash screen ?

Loving these.
Agree that #7 is too busy, love #8, plus I'm liking Hood on the last one!

They look very nice.
I like the tanks in nr 3. Would it be possible to see the tanks on the european background?
Nr 6 gives me a feel of the original box. Great work.
And last. Hood sailing on the flaming sea almost brings tears to my eyes. Please include it.

I have to agree. The new screens are very nice, but the last one with the battleships... quite impressive!

Any chance you can make the Battleships stand out more from the background & the flames, as you did for the Me262 in screen #5 or the Battleship in screen #2 ?
Anyway, I think this is looking good !!

I really like the last few (artillery crew filling screen, tanks filling screen, battleships filling screen).
More picture, less world, less flames.

What about some cool IT frogmen? Possible to include? (The wish list could be long!)

If we make a wish list... a picture of a carrier would be nice.
An Army B-25 Mitchell bombers takes off from the deck of the USS HORNET on its way to take part in the Doolittle Raid

I'd love to see a corsair, preferably head on. Gotta love that gull-wing monster, 2,000 horse power and the largest prop. on a fighter.

Well, since it a long time to Christmas... I can only hope that some Zeros will be included!

These are other Zekes, those that took off from the Shokaku to bomb Pearl Harbor.

Another famous WW2 aircraft view. Hornet's SBDs hunting the Mikuma at Midway.

the hood screen with highlighting as suggested, bit of a balance here between image strength and the fact that these are backgrounds, there will be text etc on top and that needs to be legible
