To me, the lighting seems off. The near side of the plane should not be blurred because the light is becoming from behind the plane. Also, the plane seems a bit bright. Other than that, looks good. Wink

Wow!!! Now this is what I call really good!!! That Jag looks like something from the future, great angle and stretch... blending perfect IMHO....

I like the lighting on the plane, my personal preference would be to darken the sky behind the plane and move the lightsource to the left, if that were possible. Looks amazing though, very nice work!!!!

Again my only critisism is that there is FS sky around the plane. Try sizing the plane to about 210% when you cut it out.

IMHO the Photo darkness filter thing shouldn't be there but thats your choice. Great Job Wink

Hey guys, I used photoshop for this...to cut the plane out I used the magnetic lasso combined with polygonal lasso. I tried improving it more, so here's #3...let me know if this is any better Wink

It's even better, though the light source could be more clearly to the left. I really like this edit a lot. I must say I didn't notice the FS sky....

Urgh...thats a good job with the magnetic lassoo....I always use the pen tool for cutting out...much easier and less frustrating.

Great edit...very moody and the jag looks stretched giving it a nice effect
