My husband thought this was CGI at first, so I had to see if I could find the original. I found it on his website: (https://stevewoodsphotography.com/)

It's ever-so-slightly off center, and has a bit of the ground in the frame, but I think it's even better. It so much more realistic that way.

Wow, this gallery is amazing. It's crazy how much expression is in some of these.

The advancement of photography and CGI makes me question so many photos! I'm not a photogrpaher, so I don't always know what is good composition vs done in post vs outright fake, so I pass on a good number of pics if I can't verify they're from an actual photographer.

Since I try to post mainly educational things, I dont want to risk credibility, so it's easier to just pass on something questionable, but if they're real or not, they are some really amazing pictures!

Thanks for doing the background check. I appreciate it though I didn't consider whether it might be CGI.

I think we found the inspiration for the mandalorian skinny-ships from rebels/mando.

These guys are majestic.
