My constant work at improving blending. How does this one look?

It looks stuck on to me too. It's because the plane is too purple in some areas. You're getting better though. Keep it up!  ;)

Looks very nice, not too stuck on.... it's so hard to get the blending thing right, isn't it?.... >:( Grrr....

In this case the plane is probably head on to the sun, and the lighting looks like the sun is shining more from the right. this might be the reason - possibly only the front right side should be lit, and the rear should be completely shaded.....

Could be wrong, of course :D

Keep up the great work!

krigl - you it the nail on the head, the lighting is what doesn't look right. The plane has a dead right side on lighting, it doesn't suit the picture.

Farvel - Looks great anyway!

It just doesn't blend well.  The lighting is not right, and the plane is a little too rough and blurry for it to be realistic.
