I thought it might be interesting to discuss and submit screenart based on what your ideas and techniques are in creating drama and action in a screenshot.

Rotate!

To attempt to create drama in this pic, I zoomed right up to a rotating aircraft, putting it's nose right in the viewers face. I tried to capture the aircraft right at the point of rotation, giving the perspective a little originality. Then I added a bit of tire smoke, usually seen only at landing, but I thought it added a bit of drama as well.

So what do you do to create a sense of drama and action in your screenshots? Put up a pic or two and a bit of a desciption of how you put to-gether the action shot(s) the way you did..

I always try to use the special effects of the addon, for example this plane has a "dump & burn" effect, which adds a lot to the shot in my opinion. Crash and engine failure effects and so on(...), can also add a lot to a shot.

Example:

A special angle, and "bad" weather can also add a lot to a shot, and give it a more serious feeling.
