I really like #1, but i gotta be honest and say you are kinda let down the your hardware/scenery, the ground textures are just nasty!!

I really do love the angle though Smiley

Cry tell me about it!! The ground textures are default so its hardly surprising really. Thanks for being honest anyway  Smiley

Glad you like the angle though  Grin

Thanks

I'll still give them a big 6 ... at least you use a KLM 747. The old livery but it's a KLM bird Grin

Nice shots but for the first two you need two pair of sungalsses 8) 8)

If you think your textures aren't that good wait for the sim to finish render them. Pan a few times around your aircraft if you like ... this way the sim 'sees' all the textures and can load them in its memory. Maybe you need to step away from the PC and have a cigarette on the terrace or have a coffee or a beer, in which the latter makes a better combination with a cigarette Grin

You'll see that when you wait for the sim to finish your graphics will be better.

When I pan around my aircraft before taking a shot I actually see all the blurries dissapear Smiley

Let me know if this works out for you ...

Vulcan, first of all, when you're trying to sell something don't stick your tongue out at your potential buyer.. Wink

I think the most appealing one is #2. The glare in the water is difficult to look at, are you using a sun mod add-on? In #1 I find the aircraft angle is a bit too steep, takes away a bit from the realism. In #3, the coloring is super, but the stretched look?... i don't know...#4 offers some solid perspective in that you put a lot of shoreline in the background..definately adds to the depth..nice one  Smiley So, i'll only rate #2 if that's ok, I'll give it a 7/10
Try to change seasons during daytime to try to reduce the heavy water reflect, or go to later or earlier in the day. Early/late day usually adds rich deep color to screenshots as well.

Great angle!

Just wait for the textures to load, max out the sliders, then put 5/8 Cumulous clouds. Also change time of day so the water dosn't glare.
