I'm pretty satisfied with how the cones came out  Cool

Before anyone asks...the ONLY thing that is photo here is the coastal backdrop. Condensation clouds were made from scratch.

Looks like a photo, though the airplane seems to be a little bit too big, could be me though.

First off, the condensation effect is absolutely amazing, but i agree that the plane seems a little big.  Maybe a different background where the plane looked like it was higher up.  Other than that i honestly think that this could pass for a photo.

Grin Shouldn't the Mods move this to Pictures and Cameras?!  Grin  Great edit man, love to see more!  Grin  I get the sensation that this beast was flying tree top level then pulled up to go over the hill the 'photographer' is standing on.  I believe the proportioning is perfect for the aircraft screaming low past the hill.  That 'photgrapher' is in for one loud boom!  Grin

1 out of 3 aint bad Tongue Yeah the photo was taken on a hill somewhere in the Philipines...maybe the fact it was taken on a hill isn't as obvious as I had hoped. Even still I thought it was a great action shot. Either way thanks guys.

I can think of thing you could have done to improve it a little more.  Maybe motion blur either the F-18 or the scenery a smidge.  But still... utterly impressive!

Funny you should mention, I did actually experiment with a touch of motion blur but I felt it detracted from the overall realism rather than add effect...so i left it out. Other things led me to conlude that there mightn't be much blur anyway but I won't get into too much detail.
