First some night vision goggles:


Focusing in on the target:


The editing wasn't supposed to make them look pretty or realistic, but do you think i accomplished the effect i was looking for in each?

but do you think i accomplished the effect i was looking for

You never told us the effect you were looking for. :-?

#2 is really nice, however I dont like the first one. It seems a little too grainy.

The first was supposed to be grainy.  It was supposed to look like what a person wearing nightvision goggles would see.  Its not exactly pretty, but i thought it made a cool effect.  A soldier that was dropped off by the helicopter for a night mission glances up at it as it takes off.
And yeah, the effects i was talking about were night vision and focusing.

Second one is amazing

I guess I'm strange but I really like the first one, and think it looks great. Not too keen on the second, too much is blurry though I can see what you were trying to do. I think the target has already evaded you given the angles of the planes, but I might be wrong.

As has already been said...I LOVE the second!

Not with Immelman's amazing piloting skills!

thanks for the comments everyone, much appreciated.
Krigl, i found that if i decreased the blur any more then your focus wouldnt go right to the sabre, which is what i was hoping would happen, although you might be right.

the first one is good, maybe for NVG's a little to grainy.

the second one is good, what kind of blur did you use for it??
if you where to spend a little more time on number 2 it would look awesome if you added some motion blur to the scenery. it would realy finish the pic off.

I would if i could, but im using picasa and for these.
