Hello Immelmann,

I don'T know if I, as no studioV member, am allowed to post here but I want to congratualte you for your decission to put your work to the critic eyes of others. I've seen lots of such threads in other forums and there was always a warning in the opening post that you should be able to see the benefit of it rather than getting annoyed if a critic sounds too harsh what surely might happen sooner or later. Hats off!

Now for your artwork, I do like the colors in this image I must admit im not too fond of the soft corona around the plane here. Would it be at parts being exposed to bright light or something like that it would be something different but they don'T add to the shot here imho. Why not adding some projected shadows instead? I think they would be more benefical to underline some moonlight iluminating the plane's belly which went up. Furthermore I think the plane is just a tad bit too close to the left image border giving it a slightly uncomfortable feeling, for me at last.

So much for some pointers from me. I hope they help you and I'd like to hear your ideas regarding my comments.

Thanks for your help simplex.  Those comments were very useful and ill try to keep them in mind for next time.

Yup it certainly is! looks way more natural!

Really?? 

Soui, your shot has all ingredients for a good screenshot. The problem is that it doesn't work, at least to me it doesn't... I think there's just too much going on. The nice looking Eagle, the bright burner, the nav lights, the wild angle, the zoom, the scenery, the clouds, the banked horizon... Everything seems to be screeming: "Look at me!! Look at me!!"
My eye just doesn't find a place to rest in this pic. It keeps jumping from one point to another. Try to get some peace in the picture.

Conquistador, that plane looks beautiful!  The lighting is very serene...but the shot is way too plain .  What would make this shot better is interesting clouds in the background - right now it looks like it on a white background almost .  That's my thought.

Looks like I'm going for a spin in PSS Concorde Tom!!!

A quick muck around with the "Heretic's FlexCam" that is found at the bottom of the tutorial list. This is just the default flight that is selected in Free Flight. Critique/Opinionise/Rip apart at will!!

Wingo, that shot is very nice. Nothing wrong with it. 

Maybe you should ask for it to be moved up the tutorial list It wouldn't get much exposure sitting down the very bottom. It's a great cam by the way, maybe when someone finds a tweak to speed up the eyepoint movement we wont need stuff like Walk and Follow and Recorder for good screenshots

I let Clipper decide about that.

Yeah, the movement is something I really can't figure out. The SDK doesn't help either. :/
