OK. Here's my second set of screen shots. This is the Alphasim SR-71 Blackbird at Edward's AFB in FSX (stock scenery). Here are the questions I have for this set:

The textures looked fine up close, but stepping back they got blurry (See pic 5). I tried to deal with it by getting the camera to a distance / angle where the blurriness would go away and it seemed to work alright but it was a pain. Are there any simple things I can do to the textures to make them remain crisp at a distance?

The landing pictures (Pics 4-6), they seem to be alright, but they don't seem to convey the majesty of the aircraft in the way that I think they could. What could I do to spruce those up a bit?

Any other general comments on the shots are welcome too!

I think if he wants feedback than he would get a lot more from the studio than from the freeware/payware forum.

I think their nice shots and blackbird is great.  to convey the "majesty" try taking the shot at dusk when its darker to go a long with the "black" bird theme.
As for the textures, i unfortunatley suffer from the same problem.

I'd definitely agree with you Splinter - lighting isn't such a problem in conveying the Blackbird's majesty (but lighting helps any shot), but choosing a new angle is vital instead of having the plain, 'side-on' approach. Perhaps take it from below the nose and slightly to the left or right of the nose (such as the first pic here). 8)
