Description
I know the core idea isn't very original, but I hope that you will find execution pleasing to look at
Took about 1.5 days of work to complete (probably because it's all still quite new for me).
16:10 format up for download if anybody would like to use this as a wallpaper ^^
Please, do tell me what you think about it.
Edit: Thank you for all the faves and positive feedback, I really appreciate it

Extremely nice manipulation!
The lack of trialing debris on the upper two hits is realistic. They'd be traveling fast enough to resemble a bullet being fired through an apple. But it's not consistent with the lower hit, which is also very realistic for a slower hit. The problem is that a slower hit would happen later.
Other than me WAY over-thinking it, though, f-ing awesome job! The reflections on the nearer building especially are a great touch!

I think I know where you are coming from. I had a bit of timing concern while I was almost finished, but decided to assume that this is an ongoing meteor shower thing, and both the impact and the ones flying in the distance had time to get where they are at this given moment. Hopefully that made some sense
At any rate - thanks for the comment and for noticing the reflections (had to play with handheld mirror to get them right). Much appreciated

It looks great! I love the colours especially, but I think the icing on the cake would have been some people in the closest windows of the foreground building, pressed up against the glass watching.

You might not believe this but I actually had that idea, but thought it would be too dramatic and decided to skip it
