Awesome pic mate! What zero model is that? It looks fantastic!

Just two things:

- The props look like they are a bit out of perspective.

- The tailnumbers are th same. I don't know if that's a bad thing though... Undecided

Keep 'em coming!

Ah, I always forget about those tail numbers. I'll make an effort to remember. Wink

Thanks for the link! I was just looking at this again, and maybe, if you still have the psd, try bringing the lower plane to the left and the upper to the right. Just an idea... maybe it'll look even better.

Edit: Oh! I already got that plane! LOL Grin

I think it's pretty darn good, DF!

The blue canopies are... blue. Cool

Which method are you using to create your props? Are you using a front on view and then using "Transform"?

I like it although something doesn't seem right imo.. Not sure if it's the perspective or lack of motion in the shot. Perhaps some motion blur on either the planes or the scenery in the foreground. Definitely has the makings of an excellent piece of work.

Yes, I am taking a photo of the prop from straight-on and then transforming. Wink

Have you tried the other method where you capture the stopped prop from the same angle of view that it will be seen from in the image? That has the advantage of offering an accurate point of view. It also provides more body and thickness instead of appearing quite so "flat". Wink
