Here's my newest composite. What do you think? I've got a huge 3000 x 2008 version, but screenshotart.com isn't working right now so I can't upload it Undecided

. You can't really see it at this size though Cry

.

One thing I've noticed is the tracers look a bit weird, but I'm not sure how to fix them...any ideas Huh

?

Thanks for looking!

Yes, as you mentioned, the angle of the tracers is wrong in regards to the angle of the plane. I also think that both the plane and the broken wing could use a tint of orange to make them blend better and the lighting is also a bit off. Other than that, nice job with the smoke and flames. Keep 'em coming! Wink

Also, where do you get your backround pics for your composites. I cannot seem to find any good ones. Cry

Looks great, I like the fire particularly... just two things come to mind - the sunbeams look great coming from the cloud, but you've placed 'another sun' to the right of the cloud - the sunbeams don't match up- ... haven't you? Maybe I'm wrong... The other thing is, it looks like the baddie has been burning heartily for a few seconds.... so why's our gallant hero still firing?

Spectacular shot though, just trying to be helpful... Embarrassed

Nice shots, but like the guys said, needs a little touch up.

If anyone needs somewhere to host screenies, email the files to me on dcc@bfdreamland.com and i'll host them on my web space

Griffon Spit vs Bf-109E...what a fair fight! Tongue

The tracers are angled strangely, and they're a bit short and too narrow. I doubt the Hispano cannons of a Spit could fire that quickly.

Additionally, I wouldn't attack with cannons only... ;P

Actually Krigl, I didn't do anything with the background except play with color balance and brightness/contrast. I didn't add another sun...that's how it looked Tongue

.

And the Spit is still firing cause I wanted to try my hand at tracers Tongue

...but do you think it would look better without them?

I'll post an updated version soon...

Really (the sun) - okay then

I like the look of the tracers, but yeah, it would make more sense visually if they were just hitting a plane and there was an explosion without smoke yet... and the target was doing a runner... but too sloooooowwww......Bam!!! Aaaaieeahhh!!! Neeeaaaaaoooowwwwww!!!!!!
