Looking at it non-professionally, the shot lacks the great model and paint, but overll its great!

Looking at it in a more professional way, as people have told me, it needs more action, and the model and paint arent too great, otherwise, the sky and clouds are perfect! the shot overall gives the impression of neverending peacefulness

I think you've done a beautiful job on the sky/clouds, the aircraft though looks somewhat out of proportion. Try to use zoom in/out, pan etc. to get your aircraft to look as realistically proportioned as possible. When you have your shot set up and before you hit "print screen", determine if that's what the aircraft would look like in a photograph, or does it look stretched, unrealistically small or at an attitude not normal for that type of aircraft. Here's an example of proportion and attitude, note as well i'm taking advantage of the reflective texture and getting a mirrored look in the fuselage. The aircraft position and attitude would be something typical to a wartime photograph or print. Image realism is important in trying to create certain styles of pics.  Smiley

Thanks guys.  I tend to focus too much on one thing, this time the clouds, which leaves the other things lacking.  Ill keep your comments in mind.  Also, this is the first time ive tried to add a prop to an image.  How does this one look?

to be honest the clouds never really are a problem to focus on, just set the right settings (time and date) and the right weather and its done, just "focus" more on making the plane and the action stand out more

Alright, ive taken another crack at it.  Here's my new (and hopefully improved) edit.

...

Again, if you could give me some opinions/advice on the props, or anything else, that'd be great.
