Enjoy, feel free to tell me what you think

Just some friendly advice:

Try experimenting with various, non-default, camera angles, with programs such as FSRecorder, or any of the payware options.

Also, it may help your shots if you combined new camera angles, with a higher focus on your surroundings, rather than just a default aircraft. There are plenty of very high quality freeware and payware aircraft and scenery options available, and it would greatly improve your shots if you started using these.
If you see my most recent Tu-154 posts that are currently on this page, you will see that I tried out some unique camera angles, along with a very high quality aircraft model, and top of the line freeware scenery.
Finally, as you experiment with these new techniques, I would recommend you take a look at a1's cropping advice, located in the Studio V section of the screenshot forums.

Here's an example showing what can be accomplished with new camera angles, and high quality content:

Wiat but isn't he using FSX?  why not use the angles programed into the .cfg?

Well he can experiment with the built in angles then....I think the concepts that I am trying to explain are still valid no matter what program you use for your shots.

i tried putting in new camera definitions into the aircfg. but they didn't work

I don't own FSX so I don't know what you need to adjust for those camera angles, but it would be worth taking the time to find out to improve your shots. Also, take note of my quality addons comment too.
And according to the website, FSRecorder works with FSX too, and I believe that it would add more liberty with view angles anyway when compared with the built in FSX views.

ok thanks ill look into it, but other than that what do you think about my shots?

I'm going to be very frank with you and say that I think the creativity is there, but with the tips I provided, you could gain more recognition and become competitive in the various contests. As of now, to be brutally honest, your shots sometimes come across as being rather plain.
Please just take this as constructive criticism. I know that with some modifications of your techniques, you could make truly stunning shots.
